Like the washington post, the dailies return to the meticulous preparation of the attack against the leader of al-Qaeda. After a final briefing with the intelligence services on July 25, Joe Biden finally agreed to this strike, writes the newspaper.
And it is undeniably a success for the president, underlines the site Politico, but nothing to do with the death of bin Laden, whose impact was much more resounding in American public opinion. This time, writes the online newspaper, the information is just another piece of news making headlines on Tuesday. On the other hand, the fact that the leader of al-Qaeda was able to hide in a neighborhood whose accesses are all controlled by the Taliban must question us, continues Politico: “ Are the leaders of Afghanistan still protecting terrorists?
