Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri is said to have been killed in an American drone attack, US media reports citing sources.

al-Zawahiri, who just turned 71, took over the leadership role of the terrorist organization after Osama bin Laden was killed by US security services in 2011.

During the night of Tuesday, Swedish time, President Joe Biden will give a speech where he is expected to confirm Zawahiri’s death.
