my blood pressure is borderline. garlique healthy blood pressure formula helps maintain healthy blood pressure with a custom blend of ingredients. i'm taking charge, with garlique. good evening, weaving a tight with breaking news a little more than 11 years since president obama told americans about osama bin laden and 21 years since the 9/11 attacks on this country, president biden tonight announced the killing in a drone strike in afghanistan of ayman al-zawahiri, bin laden's second in command and his successor. for more than two decades, he's been one of the fbi's most wanted $25 million for the apprehensions and conviction. tonight that's no longer a concern. >> we make it clear again tonight, that no matter how

long it takes, no matter where you hide, if you are a threat to our people the united states will find you and take you out. >> a lot went into the drone strike at a lot may follow from. it will begin tonight with new details on how it all came together, cnn correspondent jim sciutto, one more have you learned about this mission? >> anderson, remarkable details coming up from a senior administration official tonight that speaks to a months long intelligence operation proceeding the strike from a drone on saturday. we're told that the president was first alerted to al-zawahiri presidents in kabul, start of april this year but that had followed months of u. s. intelligence agencies have been tracking ham, he moved to kabul extensively it seems to stay with friends there, downtown villa. and then over the course of the months, cia and other intel agencies developed patterns of his and his family's behavior with the intention of finding an opportunity to kill

al-zawahiri in that home, without injuring are threatening the lives of his family members or any civilians. that took a tremendous amount of work, time, they said the women who were living with him here follow their own trade craft, they take roots home to this house, they thought would prevent them from being followed another words they knew there was a possibility that they might be followed there. there was a model, scale model of the house built so that the president can examine where al-zawahiri spent his time, and make a judgment to what munition was used, it would only threaten his life and not the lives of other people in that building. ultimately, as it came down to, it's a new overtime that he like to spend time on his balcony, outside, and on saturday it is on his back in the senior administration official says that a drone firing to hellfire missiles struck him, killed the al-qaeda leader, but did not hurt or threaten the lives of anybody else in that building. which the administration is saying was a key concern of the

president. but a months-long operation at one point i'll make, anderson, following the u.s. withdrawal a little less than a year ago, august 30th, of 2021, there had been an open question whether the u.s. would be able to carry out counterterror operations agree wallet had boots on the ground in afghanistan. in fact, the cia director had said publicly that they would not have the same capability to do so over the horizon operation. it's more difficult, you have to i rely on eyes on the skies and none on the ground, this is an operation that was successful doing just that. that's a remarkable intelligence feat, remarkable operation feet. for this man who helped lead the latest the greatest threat that this country has faced. >> it's not clear, whether this was just eyes in the air. it seems, i'm not speaking out of school, this is something the taliban and everyone that's their would know. to anybody that swallowing people through the streets of kabul, that's hard to do from the air i would imagine?

>> you can follow people from the air, certainly. is it possible that the u.s. had contacts, u.s. intelligence agencies have contacts on the ground? certainly it is. it's also probable frankly that they were intercepted communications that would help them establish who is there, when, and how. there's also this, the president speak to this new order the senior administration official, there was a 25 million dollar bounty on zawahiri its head. is it possible that led to -- its possible no one has said. so i will say in the past those bounties that led to intelligence looted and who say hussein's, sam hussein sands, when they were captured and killed aunt in mosel in 2005. we'll see as more details come out. but we know about a tremendously intricate rather intelligence operations. >> jim sciutto, we appreciated.

joining us now mark hertling retired air force lieutenant george clapper, cnn national security analyst and former director of national intelligence clarissa ward. clarissa, can you describe the regional global significance of the u.s. taking out not just the current head of al-qaeda but someone so deeply involved with september 11th, even if some of it's just not necessarily operationally that significant? >> there's no question that this is a hugely symbolic significant moment. this is a man as president biden said in his eighth minute address, who had literally spent decades targeting, killing americans, calling in other people to kill americans, praising those who attacked americans. he was osama bin laden's trust in japanese, right hand, he had been able to continue even

while living in a sort of pakistani hinterland's to release audiotapes, occasional videotapes to try to keep coalescing support for al-qaeda, keep calling for those attacks, and so when you think of this now what are we almost 21 years after the 9/11 attack. it shows how far the reaches of u.s. justice. it's clearly an extraordinary feat of intelligence as jim was just a lose sunday -- that they were able to kill him without any collateral damage, without any members of his family being killed. in terms of the day today significance of how this will change al-qaeda operations. i think that it's a little too early to say unlikely to have a major impact on that. it's certainly minimizes the sort of global centralized authority. it raises questions about the

next leader might be, speculation already taking place about -- one other thing i would add here, anderson, that i think is deeply concerning and is gonna be a big intention for the u.s. going forward in terms of how it grapples with the taliban and with afghanistan at this new leadership is the fact that he wasn't killed in the tribal areas in pakistan, he wasn't killed in the border areas of afghanistan. >> they were allowing him to live in cable -- >> it was in downtown cable, a few minutes away from the guesthouse that i was staying in last -- this is hugely significant that, they were at the largest of the taliban after they had made the doha agreements which forbids them using afghanistan or allowing afghanistan to be used as a safe haven. >> george clapper, head of national intelligence, when

they killed osama bin laden can you talk about the kind of intelligence that a president would have likely needed, or wanted to give an operation like this the greenlight? >> that's a great question. anderson, something i've been wondering about since we had to do this from going over the horizon. in the case of osama bin laden, obviously, we had his body and dna analysis to prove that it was actually him. so, this is not as an intel guy this is a tremendous intelligence feet. if asbury, and if this was in fact zawahiri, and not a double. but from the certitude of the presidents statement, it

appears that they're quite sure what a president would look for, answer your question specifically is proof of life. and proof of, as much as could be brought to bear that this person, whoever it is zawahiri, osama bin laden, is actually him and he's present i need to believe that zawahiri it is guard out after the u.s. left afghanistan. because he was meticulous about his operational security, jarrett something during the obama years in my time as dni, we have great difficulty trying to find him because he isolated himself quite successfully both physically and electronically. >> general hertling, if it were being told is what occurred, the mission was conducted with a drone strike the idea that they were able to precisely target somebody at the time of day that they were choosing, in

part of the routine, to stand or sit out on a balcony is really extraordinary, as clarissa was pointing out, limited damage to other people who may have been in the house or neighborhood. >> yeah, i would seem so, anderson, what i'm against just all add to what director clapper said. if you understand how these individuals do this kind of targeting, the requirement for intelligence, the requirement for rehearsals which the president talked a little bit of out and some of this team talked about how he was so interested in the intricate details of sunrise on the houses and what rooms were being revealed, its whole thing went on. you need to understand that these targets targeted areas, intelligence officials, these operates and conduct the operations, have extensive and i'm talking about they wake up every single day looking how can we kill this guy. because he's such a threat.

this has been going on for months, the average american does not understand the detail, the level of effectiveness and efficiencies that go into this kind of targeting of individuals. the president can stand on the balcony and talk about the operation, there's been months and maybe even years going into the targeting of zawahiri, i first heard about the sky in 1998 when i was that -- we've been wanting to get him for a very long time, he's a leader within this organization, and the strike that was conducted was affected and efficient. including your question about how do we know that it's him, light when i'd suggest that if conducted over the weekend and director clapper knows this than i do, they were looking for evidence of strikes. this is very different than that strike that occurred in august in afghanistan, that was a rush strike to get something someone that was threatening the organization. and this was a long term analysis, long term approach targeting an individual that's been a thorn in the side of

america for the last 30 years. >> clarissa, we should point out but obviously there's a history with the taliban and al-qaeda that we all know about. the taliban is fighting against an isis offshoot grew in afghanistan currently. but al-qaeda would have been aligned with the taliban still? >> ideologically, absolutely. what i think is still somewhat shocking about this, anderson, is when we were on the streets and talking to taliban officials, talking to regular fighters as they took over the country, they were adamant that there was no way al-qaeda or any international terrorist organization was gonna be able to get a foothold inside of afghanistan. they understood how tied the states were for them, the whole notion of the doha agreement is predicated on this idea that afghanistan could become a safe haven. yet here we are having this conversation, in the wake of

this momentous event one, official telling cnn that they know that senior haqqani taliban officials were not only aware of his presence -- because this area was absolutely impossible for him to be living there without them being aware of it. but they also even took steps in the aftermath of the strike to try to conceal the fact that he was there, to restrict access to the house where the strike took place. and also to relocate his family. so, you're talking about the senior leadership of the islamic -- of afghanistan, taliban held afghanistan. literally collaborating with al-qaeda after promising that they would not do that. and what that does to an already very damaged dysfunctional relationship between the taliban and the u. s., and what can much more difficult that makes it going forward for the u.s.. this is zawahiri your talking about, a guy with a 25 million

bounty on his head, what happens when other individuals who are potentially not perhaps as well known to intelligence officials, who are not necessarily on the radar internationally in the same way. how can you trust again in the taliban's word, when they talk about a serious commitment funding not only isis-k, which they're focused on, but other groups like al-qaeda in the region. >> -- the k director, clapper, with jim sciutto was talking about this earlier era, the past bounties have worked? [inaudible] director clapper, can you still hear me? in the past pound bounties have worked in terms of getting people to give information?

>> > well, that's a possibility here. again, i'm sure all these details, unfortunately are going to come out the next week or so i'm sure. whether there was someone on the ground that tipped off cult u.s. intelligence by some ultra -- this means to look for lance wylie here is presence in kabul, i don't know the details on that, but you'll they have worked in the past and could have been a factor here. i don't know. >> general clapper, appreciate it. lieutenant general mark hurtling, close award, thank you so much. more to come on the breaking news. including a retired general about the significance of the strike. later, dozens noted from the

>> this is what president biden said about the operation that was conducted. >> a week ago, i gave you approval to get him. none of his family members were hurt. and there were no civilian casualties. i'm sharing this news with the american people now after confirming the missions total success for the painstaking work of our counter-terrorism community, and kayla's and partners. >> just before the president spoke, i spokas could trail --

he's also former cia director. >> general petraeus, thank you for being with us. what is your reaction to this news? >> it's very significant. it is a triumph for our intelligence community. it is significant that one of the original leaders of al-qaeda, longtime international extremist and terrorist has been brought to justice. it is perhaps a more symbolic, if you will, then it is of operational significance. noting of course the real threat in afghanistan, if there is one of the international extremism is really the islamic state affiliate there. that's the organization that is fighting the taliban, also causing instability. in afghanistan. and that's the one we have to

keep an eye on, even as again this is a significant takedown of a very, very long time and very significant extremist leader. >> the other thing, it shows is, the capability, at least, of the u.s. to strike in afghanistan. which is a question raised a lot in the wake of the withdrawal of u.s. forces in afghanistan. president biden had talked about of overcoming the horizon. there's not a lot of details about how this was conducted. but what will they take by way of intelligence, military coordination, to accomplish something like this? >> if it is presumably a drone, you have to get it within reach of the drones dwell time. we know that you can fly a drone from our bases in various locations in the middle east and reach that location,

presumably there are more sources put together than this than just the drone footage and so forth. so it does show therefore that it is possible to -- i don't think anyone ever questioned the ability to conduct over the horizon operations. it's more the ability to really have a dense capability to do this. to get sources that are on the ground and to actually develop the kind of partners and so forth that are needed. and also to root out the extremists in the extremist groups, the ones that oppose the international threat. again, noting that this is a very big operation. this is the other real leader of al-qaeda since the early days pre-9/11. ever since. >> i guess the taliban knew

that he was living there and approved that. but are their capabilities of the isis affiliate, against the isis affiliate? >> they are battling the isis affiliate. they're also battling the resisting forces of their term. let me highlight something you just mentioned, anderson, and that is of course he was located in kabul, indicating clearly that the taliban did learn the lesson by allowing, again, bin laden to have the sanctuary on their soil when the 9/11 attacks were planned in afghanistan. after which of course they refused to expel him from their territory and that's why we had to go in. so it does reflect the continuing close relationship that clearly exists between kolkata senior leadership, that small group of law feet really

-- the ones that are still left. the fact that he was in kabul, i don't think it's something that could've been possible without the taliban knowing that he was there. >> is it clear why zawahiri was able to avoid being captured and being killed much longer than osama bin laden? >> first of, all osama bin laden stayed essentially off the net for a very long time as well. and zawahiri essentially did but bin laden did. which means that therefore he can very capably lead the affiliates of al-qaeda around the world. essentially, they have been operating autonomous, they independently. they may be part of the brand of al-qaeda, but they certainly weren't under and be operational control. again, noting that this is a very symbolic success to bring one of the last of the original al-qaeda leaders who did so much damage around the world, again, and east africa bombings, and a number of bombings north

africa. exhortation's elsewhere. not to mention being a core part of al-qaeda 9/11 attacks were planned. >> and he was increasingly -- he's one of the group who is increasingly radicalized and egyptian prisons. right? >> that's true, and fact he actually led to the egyptian islamic jihad prior to this in the 1990s. and it was in the late 1990s that he actually emerged with osama bin laden. they hadn't met him earlier in the battlefields enough ghana stan and the soviets. >> general petraeus, i appreciate your time. thank. you >> pleasure to be with you. >> coming up more on our breaking news, u.s. targeting and killing al-qaeda leader ayman al-zawahiri. we will take a look at his life of terror, next. boston. ♪ it means, “ok-to-beer-fest”. another sam octoberfest? nein. make it ten! i like this guy.

getting our breaking news al-qaeda leader -- in his remarks i present better minded americans that major attacks that he was involved in 9/11, bombing of the u.s. cool, the u.s. embassies in east africa as. well michael holmes tonight is more the man who until this weekend was one of the most wanted terrorist in the world. >> we want to speak to the whole world. who are we? who are we? >> by the time al-zawahiri

burst on the world scene after the assassination of egyptian president al-sadr, he was already a terrorist, committed to turning egypt into islamic state. the young doctor came from one of egypt's leading families. there was even and al-zawahiri street in cairo named after his grandfather. his uncle described him as pious. >> he was a good muslim and he came to pray in the mosque and to read and seeing. >> al-zawahiri spent 3 years in prison after al-sadr's assassination, and made his way to pakistan where he used his medical skills to help those in afghanistan. that's where he met osama bin laden, and they found a common

cause. he talked about it a decade later. >> we are working presently -- since more than 10 years [inaudible] >> al-zawahiri was many places in the early 1990s. even it is believed, visiting california on a false passport. his group attacked egyptian embassies and try to kill egyptian politicians. eventually, al-zawahiri folded his group into al-qaeda. >> he pretty much flip the group ended a strategic policy of with al-qaeda's agenda was, and suddenly bin laden gave his authority and listens to it, but al-zawahiri called the shots. >> al-zawahiri was that bin laden side when he declared war on america may of 1990. 8 weeks later they launched an attack on u.s. embassies in africa, and then gloated after they escaped the u.s. cruise missile attack launched in retaliation. after the 9/11 attacks, al-zawahiri began to become the

voice of al-qaeda, taunting the u.s.. >> american people, you must ask yourselves, why all this hate against america? >> after the u.s. invasion of afghanistan, bin laden and al-zawahiri were on the run. sometimes together, more often apart. his wife and daughters were killed in a u.s. airstrike aimed at him. but he continued to issue messages on subjects ranging from the war in iraq to the london subway attacks in 2005. and while he was always a likely choice to succeed osama bin laden, it took the organization several weeks to announce his promotion. >> he's not charismatic, he has not been -- he was not involved in the

fight earlier on in afghanistan, so i think he has a lot of detractors within the l. a. organization, and you're going to see them start eating themselves from within more and more. >> without bin laden, al-qaeda could never be the same. >> the idea personified by osama bin laden. he was this charismatic -- to join al-qaeda, you pledged a personal oath to him. people went and died, not for al-zawahiri, but for osama bin laden. >> carer experts say that 2 jihadists worldwide, al-qaeda still has great appeal as an inspiration, and while al-zawahiri was an obvious successor to bin laden, it is not at all clear who would succeed al-zawahiri. >> that was michael holmes reporting this much more ahead tonight include the possibility of more flooding in kentucky, even as the death toll climbs, hundreds remain missing. a conversation with one man who helped save nine of his neighbors. that's next. vo: everyday costs are going up... so democrats in congress are doing something about it.

and it can do better. i've had that track record of conservative courageous leadership that's needed right now. we're in a bad situation in our nation. >> the scandal dates back to 2018. >> good afternoon. >> when greitens stepped down after being accused of a -- allegations he tonight. at the time, his wife stood by him. now, they're in boiled in a messy custody battle. she's accused him of abusing her and their children. the former navy s. e. a. l. has denied the allegation, and sought to change the subject by literally taking aim at the republican establishment. >> today, we're going rhino hunting. join the maga crew, get a rhino hunting permit. there's no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn't expire until we save our country. >> he calls his critics rhinos, or republicans in name only, and hopes of galvanize and conservatives. and, all 21 gop candidates are running, including mark mccloskey, who seeks to

capitalize on the moment he and his wife pointed guns at protesters outside their st. louis home two years ago. tonight, donald trump's day -long promise of an endorsement brought little clarity. -- choosing for greitens and schmidt, saying, i trust the great people of missouri on this one to make up their own minds. if greitens wins, democrats believe they have a shot of picking up the seat despite not winning a senate seat here and nearly a decade. >> we've got around different, we've got a run against the system that's not working for everybody. we've got to be running for working people. >> i'm joined now by -- want to bring in cnn political director -- jeff, what are you learning about this move by the former president endorsing essentially to candidates -- how emissary voters expected to react to this? >> well anderson, i think

they're likely to be left to their own devices, which is what the former president said in a statement. he said the good people of missouri should make up their own minds. but what he didn't say is that he's clearly trying to save face here. not knowing which exact candidate to pick. he clearly is mindful of his own scorecard as he has been throughout this primary season as it's gone from may to june to july. now, to august. he wants to pick winners. quite simply, he doesn't know who's gonna win in this contest. his family members are supporting the former governor, eric greitens, a lot of other republicans are supporting eric schmidt. so he came down to say he's endorsing the eric's, basically leaving it to voters. it's such an 11th hour. it's too late to get a new tv ad up or anything. so both eric for claiming victory tonight on the endorsement, but -- voters are gonna make up their own minds. they know these candidates all too well. >> david, what do you make of this 11th hour move by the former president? >> i think because he waited so long, it's a diminishing effect of what his endorsement cause a could accomplish. even though he was clearly being swayed from both sides here, i think he realized that he may not be the difference maker and this one, anderson. so why take on the potential

baggage of backing the wrong guy at the end of the day? >> jeff, looking into the arizona primary tomorrow, there's a proxy battle before former president trump and -- both have been on the campaign trail for different candidates. how much is at stake for both? >> look, i think a lot is at stake for the former president, of course. former vice president is clearly not as popular among the base. but i think the biggest thing -- the direction of the public can possibly in arizona. one of the top battlegrounds in this. -- he is endorsing carry lake in the governor's race, and he is giving his full thread endorsement to the former -- former vice president has endorsed another candidate as well as the current governor is also backing her, taylor robeson and. at the end of the day, which direction is the party gonna go? make no mistake, it is still

trump policy, but it is a different type of rhetoric, if you will, and carrie lake is as big of an election denier as it comes. so she wins tomorrow in arizona and some other candidates as well, that will certainly foreshadow a tough race, an interesting race, come november. >> david, does another key challenge in michigan -- voted to impeach the former president after being at the capitol attack. when you get a watch from that race? >> >> congressman meyer is one of -- he's one of three on the ballot in tomorrow's primaries, anderson, two in washington state -- has trump backed challenger, john gibbs, as a total election denier as well as promoted donald trump's lies about the result of the 2020 election served in the housing and urban development cabinet agency in the trump administration. he is the conservative choice here. meyers and the fight of his

life, and democrats, anderson, are actually meddling in this republican primary. they're spending money trying to pump up gibbs, because they think will be easier to defeat in november. but that's playing with fire, across, because they're promoting unknown election deniers who could potentially win the seat in november. >> yeah. appreciate it, thanks. be right back. m boston. ♪ it means, “ok-to-beer-fest”. another sam octoberfest? nein. make it ten! i like this guy.

about the wyoming republican congressional primary and liz cheney's constituents. we asked the state republican party for a statement that we stay shared on this program. they told us that the wyoming gop doesn't take sides and that they're neutral in this election. that is not a true statement. as we have reported, the state party has in fact taken some clear anti cheney positions. we wanted to clarify that the party may not have formally endorsed a candidate, but it has been neutral in this race. >> the news continues. when i handed over to laura coates and cnn tonight. laura? >> thanks anderson, nice to see you. i'm laura coats, and this is cnn tonight on huge breaking news. the u.s. has now killed the top terror target. more than 20 years after 9/11, the hunt for bin laden's number two is now over. al-qaeda leader ayman al-zawahiri was killed in a drone strike in afghanistan's capital, of kabul. president biden addressed the nation wit
