Al-Qaeda rejects the American narrative of Ayman al-Zawahiri’s death.
News sources have reported that al-Qaeda plans to announce another reason for his death, contrary to the claim of the United States, which claims that the leader of this terrorist group was killed in an airstrike.
While the United States announced a few months ago that Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of Al-Qaeda, was killed in an airstrike, Yahoo News reported that this terrorist group plans to announce another reason for his death.
Although Yahoo News claimed that the reason that al-Qaeda is going to announce for al-Zawahiri’s death is fake and he was killed in the same American airstrike five months ago, the American narrative of this incident was questioned from the very beginning.
American President Joe Biden claimed that Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in an American drone attack in Afghanistan on Tuesday morning, August 11. (More details). 4 days later, al-Qaeda confirmed the death of al-Zawahiri.
Despite this, many experts, analysts and residents of Afghanistan at that time questioned Joe Biden’s claims that al-Zawahiri was killed in the US attack.
Among other things, “Najh Ibrahim”, one of the founders of “Al-Jamaa al-Islamiyya” (Islamic Group) of Egypt and an expert on the affairs of Islamic groups, a day later in an interview with the Egyptian website “Al-Cahirah 24”, stated that similar news regarding the death of Ayman al-Zawahiri has been circulating for four years. It has been published more than once in the Western media. He reminded that al-Zawahiri was at least 70 years old and his health condition was not stable, and if he died, it would be completely normal. (More details.)
On the same day, the website of the France 24 news channel reported the doubts of Afghan citizens about the manner in which al-Zawahiri was killed. (More details).
But more than anything, what fueled the doubts in the American narrative was the statement of John Kirby, the spokesman of the White House National Security Council, who said on August 11 that the death of the leader of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan was confirmed visually and that there was a DNA test for that confirmation.
