In Washington Two missiles launched at Ayman al-Kabul Zawahiri's residence killed the notorious al-Qaeda leader. However, images did not reveal any evidence of an explosion, and according to US officials, nobody else was hurt.

This suggests that the US is using the Hellfire R9X, a missile without a warhead that is thought to have six razor-like blades protruding from the fuselage and that slashes through its target without detonating.

The R9X first surfaced in March 2017 when al-Qaeda senior leader Abu al-Khayr al-Masri was killed by a drone strike while traveling in a car in Syria. Neither the Pentagon nor the CIA, the two US agencies known to carry out targeted assassinations of extremist leaders, have ever made this information public.

Photos of the car revealed a sizable hole in the roof, along with physically torn interior materials and metal throughout the entire car. The car's front and rear, though, seemed to be in perfect condition.

Hellfire missiles, which are launched by drones in targeted operations, were previously notorious for their huge explosions, frequent collateral damage, and high death tolls.

Since 2017, a few other carefully focused attacks have produced results similar to these.

When information about the unknown weapon emerged, it was given the moniker "flying Ginsu" in homage to a well-known kitchen knife commercial from the 1980s that promised clean cuts through aluminum cans while maintaining a razor-sharp edge.

The missile, sometimes known as the "ninja bomb," has emerged as the US weapon of choice for eliminating terrorist group leaders while minimizing civilian losses. It appears that Zawahiri experienced this.

According to a US official, Zawahiri was alone on his balcony at his Kabul home on the morning of July 31 when a US drone unleashed the two Hellfire missiles.

The structure appears to have had windows blown out on one floor yet the remainder of it, including the windows on other stories, is still standing in apparent images.

Although present in the house, Zawahiri's family "were purposefully not targeted and were not harmed," the official claimed.

The person continued, "We have no indications that civilians were harmed in this strike.

Way to go not like giving these bastards a fucking undeserving amnesty and recycling these killers as the case is in Nigeria under their C-in-C.

Rocketing and roasting him fast to meet his share of 72 fair lusty eyes and bursty breast virgins in hell.The only good terrorist is the dead terrorist.

He wasn't "killed" in 2020.
He was suspected to have died from heart related issues.
Apparently that wasn't true.

First the headline said "has died, not was killed".
Note the difference.
If you bothered to read the article.

The next byline reads:

Security sources in Pakistan and Afghanistan claimed Ayman al-Zawahiri is dead

And who claimed he has died, unnamed Afghan and Pakistan sources.
Not the Afghan or Pakistan or the US government.

Stop being fooled by ambiguos headlines, always check the body.
