The details of the assassination of the leader of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan were learned

American intelligence agencies removed the terrorist from the balcony of the house without any collateral casualties.

Ayman al-Zawahiri, 71, the leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist organization, was killed in the early hours of the morning as he stepped onto the balcony of his home in central Kabul, where he lived. Two American missiles hit the target. This was done thanks to the careful study of Zawahiri’s habits and a special type of rocket – Hellfire, launched from a drone. On Friday, August 5, BBC Ukraine reports.

Speaking of the type of missile, it is noted that after the attacks on September 11, 2001, this high-precision air-to-ground missile became part of US counter-terrorism operations abroad . It can be launched from helicopters, aircraft, ground and ship installations, or by drone.

“When launching a missile from a drone, the operator in the control room sees the target in real time. Using the vision on the screen, the operator can “lock” the target and direct the laser. After the launch, the missile follows the laser beam until it reaches the target,” the article said. .

US officials said they examined Zawahiri’s lifestyle at his home, particularly his habit of going out on the balcony.

“You need almost one hundred percent certainty that this is the exact person, and that the strike should not lead to collateral casualties or damage. It requires patience,” said former CIA officer Mark Polymeropoulos.

He added that for the strike on Zawahira, American intelligence officials needed experience tracking Al-Qaeda members and other terrorist targets.

Remember that the United States killed al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Earlier, the United States also announced the removal of the leader of Al-Qaeda in Syria. before that, in the Syrian city of Al-Tanf, with the help of drones, a US military base was fired with missiles.
