President of Nicaragua Daniel Ortegacriticized the US for using a drone to kill al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri during a counter-terrorism operation in Kabul (Afghanistan) on the weekend, and to the President of the United States, Joe Bidenfor “boasting” about that attack.
“Now drones are being launched again, in Afghanistanand boasting that they launched a drone that killed the leader they call a terrorist after they fled from Afghanistan”, the Sandinista leader reproached during a rally on the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of the Nicaraguan Air Force, shown on television.
Daniel Ortegawho did not name the leader of the terrorists, considered that this attack by an American drone was a violation of the Doha agreement with the United States.
“After they immediately signed treaties that this practice will disappear (drone attack), and now they come in and they kind of need blood in the current conditions, and then they launch a drone and a cowboy comes out – hinting at Biden – showing off bragging,” he continued.
Al Zawahiri, dejected
Joe Biden confirmed on Monday that, on his orders, the US government killed the leader of al-Qaeda and that with the death Ayman al-Zawahiri “justice has been served” and that the world should no longer fear this “ruthless and persistent killer”.
Al-Zawahiri was killed on Sunday morning at a residence in Kabulwhen he was on the balcony of the residence where he was staying and the drone fired two Hellfire missiles at him.
According to White House, only the al-Qaeda leader died in the operation, and there was no collateral damage, not even his family members who lived with him, which Biden himself repeatedly insisted and which he called one of the conditions for the attack to continue. (EFE)
