Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri    1951-2022

Egyptian-born

surgeon-turned-jihadist

who assumed

the leadership of Al Qaeda

after the killing of Osama bin Laden

and who died at 71

in a drone strike

in Kabul, Afghanistan,

over the weekend,

according to U.S. officials,

led a life steeped

in secrecy, betrayal,

conspiracy and violence,

most murderously

in the Sept. 11 attacks

against the United States

in 2001.

While Bin Laden,

who was killed

by an American raid in 2011,

was widely seen

as the terrorist mastermind

of those attacks,

many counterterrorism experts

considered al-Zawahri

more responsible.

Osama bin Laden

is seen at an undisclosed location

in this Al-Jazeera television image broadcast

in this Oct. 7, 2001 file photo.

Bin Laden praised God

for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks

and swore America "will never dream of security"

until "the infidel's armies leave the land of Muhammad,"

in a videotaped statement aired

after the strike launched Sunday

by the U.S. and Britain in Afghanistan.
