of the soviets he passes these things to cia and his cia and mi6 case officers. he provides high level soviet policy papers. he even tries to warn the us ahead of time about that the berlin wall is going up but he can't do so in time above all he conveys his impressions that the soviet leadership is not as confident as they appear. they are blustering from a position of weakness and they know it. they worry about provoking the us to war. they know they do not have strategic superiority in nuclear weapons. the national the national intelligence estimates at the time the us national intelligence at the time assessed that the soviets had far fewer nuclear missiles than they were claiming. it was bluster. and then khrushed off backs down on berlin and that seems to confirm pincofsky's intelligence. at the same time pankowsky says kristoff might do something desperate. cia gave pinkovsky the code name hero hit the vast documentary intelligence that he provided was marked the code word ironbark. and then the oral debriefings he gave that was the chickadee intelligence.

the cia. nonetheless, even after this imbroglio andthe fact that the polls lost trust in the agency the polls continue to work for the cia both in iran and north korea being involved in sensitive operations . so in discussing this issue with a senior polish politician and siformer foreign minister, he talked about this similarly in terms of how it feels to be a small country in a relationship with the united states and desperate to be america's ally. he said an alliancewith the united states is like marrying a hippopotamus . at first it's very warm and cuddly and then the info turns and crushes you and doesn't even notice. with that thank you for letting me speak here today and i look forward to ambassador diamonds commentary and your questions so thank you very much . >> thanks very much john. let me turn to tom. i think you are muted, tom. >> mark, thank you for having me here. john, it's good to see you again. that was an eloquent synopsis and it's a wonderful read. you write with the kind

the cia and former cia director mike pompeo were sued on monday for spying on u.s.yers and journalists who met julian assange while he was living in the ecuadorian embassy in london where he had political asylum. the lawsuit is being filed as britain prepares to extradite the wikileaks founder to the united states where he faces up to 175 years in prison for violating the espionage act by puishing classified documents exposing u.s. war crimes in iraq and afghanistan. assange spent nearly seven years inside t embassy, from 2012 and to label 2019, when metropolitan police entered the embassy and arrested him after ecuador revoked his political asylum. the lawsuit filed monday accuses the spanish security firm uc global of spying on assange and his visitors inside the embassy on behalf of the cia. uc global and the company's director david morales are also named as defendants in the new lawsuit which comes less than a year after yahoo news revealed the cia considered abducting, and possibly assassinating, assange while he was in the embassy. on monday, several plaintif

which, when you fast forward to today the cia over anything i think of that movement of the cia and the united states government to disengage from poland is a good thing if you we should not be involving ourselves and the internal affairs of other countries. it's also something w interestig they no longer seem to care about how the polls government controls itself. in terms of prosecuting the people who created in america in the first place. violation two precedents at its core, et cetera going forward. i think the case was a fascinating one. so i held really deep engagement in the whole polish debate about what it meant to be a pole at that time. >> i would just add was also heavily involved in that. he was a democrat although some people doubt w that. he was quite a champion. i know mark is very strong views as a hero. maybe he should say something about it. >> i think expectations of my views on that. it was about ten years ago. it was in response to the article in which lashed into me. it is because i had criticized the notion that he was here and acted heroically. was a conflict fi

the cia. these guys these spies are good we can use them. and so in 1990 palavich proposes to paul redman with the time was the deputy director of operations for soviet and eastern europe, but the cia. hey, i go make an outreach to my polish comrades. what do you think? i've read them says great and so there's a debate about where is the outreach going to be done? right? is it going to be done in rome? for example, where a pollos officer by the name of alexander makowski had done a year harvard law school courtesy of american scholarship as a spy studying american constitutional law, or should it be done elsewhere the problem with rome. is that despite this old school ties between redmen who was a harvard man and makovsky that the embassy in rome was on an alley and italian counterintelligence could monitor the cummings and goings and the americans didn't want to involve other a third country in this operation. so they thought about switzerland, but again swiss counterintelligence is famous fo

the cia cannot do everything.he cia's primary mission is -- mission has always been preventing strategic surprise. by that, i mean preventing another pearl harbor or 9/11, a major attack or development that catches the nation by surprise. the agency's primary mission is not supporting war fighters on the battlefield. one of the costs of this tight integration between the cia is -- the cia and military is there is less ability for the cia to fulfill its primary mission, which is looking over the horizon at threats before they materialize. as i write in the book, the military and caa seem like they do the same kinds of things, but that is bad. the military is trained to be hunters. cia officers are trained to be gatherers. big difference. the military is trained to use violence, the cia is trained to use information. in a world where we can't tell those missions apart, it's a world where the cia is not spending enough time on its primary mission, and that i think is one of the legacies of 20 years of fighting the gl

this was cia operation.o president biden's theory of the case that we can conduct these operations on much smaller scale level without hundred of,000 thousand of troops on the ground. this has borne that out. what do we expect to learn from the president about the detoys of the cia operation? >> well, we will learn the details of the operation from president biden, but it seems as though there was a successful strike against a leading al qaeda or terrorist figure, possibly ayman al zawahri. if that's the case, us a point out, joy, then president biden has been true to his word that after the withdrawal of u.s. forces from afghanistan as well as intelligence personnel, that the united states is going to be able to maintain a capability to find, track down and take action when appropriate against terrorist targets, especially those that present a threat to u.s. personnel and interest, ayman al zawahri, who has been the number one in al qaeda the last eleven years, certainly did present such a threat because he

the cia had been talking about it for years and years.in my time in the trump administration when i advised the biden campaign on counterterrorism this was set of conditions where god he wasn't talking to anyone, wasn't dispensing in the barges, was in delegating authority, troops are not being paid, the taliban was negotiating in good faith. they were looking for military solution and we losing bases which were fighting our insight into his country. we said days to weeks under such circumstances. they didn't want to hear that. a dismissal of the conditions we spoke about as a possible scenario. not about what the facts were on the ground. it was perspective. >> what i do describing is all the pieces of the puzzle but the bureaucracy and the way information is shared and treated it as such that you can't put those pieces together. in a way that works. sometimes people think a bureaucracy is kind of boring but what you're saying is the very structure with which intelligence however good is treated is as important as the collection of intel

look, the former cia officers i have been talking to about this tonight, including the former cia director mike hayden, who ran the agency after 9/11, are stunned. because zawahiri was the hardest of hard targets, perhaps more remote and mysterious than osama bin laden. he really had disappeared from the scene. the last video from him emerge in the 2019, and as hayden told me tonight, we didn't see him, he said, for ten years. he really was in deep, deep hiding. intelligence sources would tell me, he wasn't that effective a leader of al qaeda because he was so removed from the scene. he was a 71-year-old man. but we should remember, one of the masterminds of 9/11, and he was a target of the cia in that operation where -- that led where the double agent played the intelligence community that led to the tragic bombing in 2009 where six cia officers and a jordanian officer were killed on the coast. he figures prominently in this two-decade war on terror, and cia officials i'm talking to are celebrating tonight. and they're looking forward to the detective story we're going to learn about, how

bush who had come to head the cia. he was ambassador for china in the cia and i established a relationship with bush 26 years old at the time and had a relationship obviously. he eventually made the attorney general. he was in the role as head of cia for one year during this time the cia was under investigation by six committees and one commission for alleged during the cold war. assassinations and things like that so he had to defend the agency during the time they were trying to tear it apart. he did such a great job in that one year and agency professionals who are the old-time warriors in those days named the cia campus and building after him at the george w. bush intelligence center. >> you are the number two there and you become acting attorney generals went the attorney general gets convinced to run for senate senator heinz. it was supposed to be the dog days in washington in august, sweeping time that you had to deal with a very major issue early on in talledega. tell the audience about that story. i story. tha

it wasn't 11 days a cia photographer years and years.as my time in the trump administration this is a set of conditions wasn't talking to an not delegating authority, troops were not being paid byut the taliban military solution. basically providing insight into the country. we said days to weeks. they did not want to hear that and its dismissal of the conditions we spoke about as a possible scenario. all the pieces of the puzzle there. the bureaucracy of the information is shared and treated as such that you cans then put those pieces together in a way that works. i think sometimes people think of bureaucracy is kind of boring to think what you are saying the very structure with which intelligence however good is treated, is as important as the collection of intelligence itself is what hearing you say. >> was all that 911. we certainly saw that in the embellishment the cherry picking and spending of intelligence we have certainly seen in afghanistan. next i could ask you questions all day long. hope charles has art sorts of questions i

that they named the cia campus and building after him. that's the george hw bush intelligence center so that's the kind of impact hehad after just one job . >> you're at doj, you're the number two there. you become acting attorney general and attorney general thornburg gets convinced to run for senate with the unfortunate death of senator heinz. it was supposed to be the dog days in washington and in august, sleepy time but you had to deal with a very major issue early on with a prison in talladega. tell the audience about the storythat was a compelling part of the book for me . >> so i initially had justice, bush put me in as the office of legal counsel which is like a legal beagle's office . we give the constitutional on advice and i only had that job for a oryear but then he made me number two which is the chief operating officer, the deputy attorney general. and then dick herbert had to go and run for the senate because john heinz had been killed in a plane crash. and the president said look, we will make a decision about who's going

came to head to cia and i established my relationship with bush. i was 26 years old at the time and that relationship was obviously. pivotal in my life because he eventually made me attorney general. he served in that role for a year if i recall. yeah, he was in that role as a head of cia for one year and during this time. the cia was under investigation by six committees and one commission. this was for alleged. excesses during the cold war things like attempted or successful assassinations and things like that. and so he had to defend the agency during the time where everyone was trying to tear it apart. and he did such a great job in that one year and he won the respect of the agency professionals who are the old-time cold warriors in those days? that they named the cia campus and building after him. it's the george hw bush intelligence center. so that's the kind of impact. it could have even just one year in the job. you your doj. you're the number two there. you become acting attorney general and attorney general thornburg gets convinced to ru

this is the news comes that al qaeda's number one man has been killed in a cia drone strike.ghanistan. let's bring back our panel. molly, your thoughts. we'll hear from the president about 33 minutes from the white house. your thoughts. >> we have a lot we need to confirm and find out since we have had bad reporting out of that region previously. it does appear that it was a strike of al qaeda's top guy. in addition to that, that you played, we had a lot of commentary about how we needed to stand afghanistan in perpetuity in order to do counterintelligence operations. this does show that you can do counterintelligence operations, quite impressive once, without having a permanent presence or a heavy military presence in the region. hopefully that will help people understand what we can do we can do without having huge deployment. it also is true that the world is a very dangerous place and there are much bigger threats right now than al qaeda including china and communist china. we need to make sure we are focusing on that. >> bret: josh, your thoughts. i said that it's been a

the former cia director of course. and joining us now is white house homeland security adviser liz sherwood randall. thank you very much for being with us. first of all, this clearly was extraordinary work from the intelligence community and the white house. there have to be some feelings of real congratulations among yourselves for this kind of precision work. including the photo we were just referring to. yes, ma'am. >> yes, i was going to say that really the appreciation goes to those who have made this possible, the counterterrorism community across our federal enterprise who have worked so hard to deliver this result to the american people and the world. >> talk to me about the precision that was possible to avoid as you've said, the white house has said, avoiding civilian deaths, preserving the life of his family, and being able to take him out on a balcony with hellfire missiles that apparently didn't explode the house. >> well, the president set a very high bar for this. first the intelligence had to be develop

practitioners who themselves organized media operations that for example, they helped to disrupt the ciatin america to eliminate the president of venezuela, the purpose of which was to expose the cia agent of influence in the inner circle of president nicolas madura, this operation was hidden as a result of one single information question that was made on august 17, 2019. it was this stuffing that gave rise to the first panic in the ranks of the staff of the station cia rich, exploring the chronology of events hides data on the interests of teachers students will disassemble tricks informational support of events, for example, a powerful dispersal of the topic to increase the degree of russophobia using the example of a staging in bucha or accompaniment of topics frankly toxic for europe to america, such as the shelling of the zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant by ukrainian units and attempts to arrange provocations with chemicals, as was the case in the milestone. they waited for several days, when the confident wind was exactly in our direction, because. it is impossible, how to trade an

so while the suit against the cia itself as a suit, probably won't go anywhere. the rest of that information. body of the evidence in julian sanchez case. i personally don't think there's a chance of a fair trial. no, julian has been charged in a federal district. the eastern district of virginia, which is called the espionage court. it's called the espionage port because no espionage defender has ever won a case there. and keep in mind that julian's jury, because of the location of this court in suburban virginia, julian's jury will be made up of people who work for, or who have relatives who work for the cia, the f. b. i. the department of homeland security. the department of defense and intelligence community contractors. that's not fair. that's not a fair trial at all. and i was special coverage. we continue looking at developments and afghanistan since the last american soldier left it soil one year ago. this month, along with the suffering, han ship and failure, experienced by his people. ah, the u. s. continues to deny responsibility for fatalities that oc

well, really the entire nazi movement survive the ukraine because of cia. this is true from world war 2. this is true from the 1950s. and there are ukrainian far right groups that still operate in the u. s. the day they have their training camps, they have their schools, they have the churches, they have all sorts of social organizations that have been kept alive. both in the us, particularly in new york and up to canada. this was c, i a grant from the beginning to use these forces and they continue to use them really into the next generation. so it's not a surprise, it's well known. it's recorded endlessly. and we see that some of these same forces recruiting now to others. other white supremacy, racist and nazi forces encouraged to go to the ukraine and fight for you know, and then further hardened by the war to come back here and, and 2 countries within, within you as an organized course. this is extremely dangerous and yet well, no wonder my thanks for speaking to us today. and sarah found a co director of the international action center. really appreci

if republicans are the most dangerous group a former cia director has seen maybe the cia isn't protectingeal threats. but it backs up what we have been saying for years. if you believe trump was worse than hitler you could break the law to stop him. hence the russian collusion. >> whatever joe biden's corruption is it is tiny compared to the corruption we know trump is involved in. it doesn't even stack up against trump university. trump aufrts a story is worse than anything that would be in hunter biden's laptop. >> yeah, okay. but it's not just harris. here is skull face. >> people believe that the election was stolen and have the right to storm the capitol which is a substantial number of people in the republican party are evil. racism is evil. misogyny is eve. >> that was sad. after that he shed his skin and ate a mongoose. >> you always were saying i don't have anything to hide. >> that's not how i sound. >> that's how it sounded to me. >> i appreciate it. thank you. but i've always known i was right. >> oh, good for you. >> thank you. but of course, i mean it's giving people power t

the former cia director on social media yesterday said remember and what does that mean? december 30th, 2009 a suicide bomber, a double agent killed seven of my colleagues in afghanistan. that operation was designed to try to find and locate ayman al- zawahiri so yesterday when we heard the news, i had extraordinary pride for my colleagues in the intelligence community who have perfected the art of man hunting bullets tip our hats to the cia. we do not forget, we always remember, but the families, some of the victims of 9/11 and families of those officers who lost their lives yesterday perhaps can get some closure. >> admiral, we have been looking for this terrorist leader for 20 years now, it seemed he would always elude us and he would always escape to the next safe house so what were your thoughts yesterday when you heard the news and how important is this? >> it is huge and this sort of reflects the art of this forever war and it goes back before 9/11. don't forget in 98 osama bin laden with ayman al-zawahiri launched attacks on the american embassy killing american d

cia director, it's like they marked out cia and i said well, why are you doing that? the letter cia are everywhere and they said well. if you have the letter cia in your book, then the cia has to review your book and that could add months. to your publication so like yeah. okay, forget i'll just leave it there. but anyway, um, and i'll make this quick because it's it's a much longer answer the fbi is overseas and over 70 offices. we are all based in the us embassies throughout the world. and most people don't know that we're overseas and what the fbi does is if there is a nexus to an investigation here in the united states and it has a nexus to say china, which is one of the places i was stationed then i'm the person who works with the chinese government. to get that information or evidence or whatever they need and get that back to the united states so we can do our investigation and vice versa if the chinese have an investigation i help them with that. so you're the fbi the legal attache. the head of the office that's generally what you're doing. you are it's more o

this is a uav drone strike by the cia.ire missiles fired and he was killed we are told on the balcony at a residence and his family was in a different part of the house. they were not hurt. there were no other casualties. we have heard that before from this administration and it didn't turn out to be true. the sources that we are talking about say this is very specific and they believe that this is zawahri. to your point, i think they are going to use the ability to strike like this without u.s. troops on the ground despite how chaotic and horrible the pullout from afghanistan was so that helps them politically obviously in telling that story. >> jesse: all right. bret baier, thank you so much for joining us and reacting to the president. next, even jon stewart now is missed. the veterans bill he's been screaming about is rigged. he hasn't worked this hard to only get this far with his cholesterol. taken with a statin, leqvio can lower bad cholesterol and keep it low with two doses a year. side effects were injection site

it may be a cia drone operation. no doubt the military is deeply involved in preparing for the intelligence necessary, among other things. to tell us what you learned. >> u.s. military, intelligence community, most exquisitely classified information on al qaeda, every day. they all have the same information, they know what is hap main, and they understand what al qaeda may be up to. we don't know, yet, what the key piece of intelligence was, that led them to understand, or when it happened, led them to understand where he was. they may have been tracking him for some time. as you said a short time ago, wolf, it would have presented options to president biden, about how to go after him. this is something that typically happens when the cia or pentagon has the target. you have an important target and you take it to the president of the united states, here are options how we can get after and capture or kill this person. you most importantly tell the president, what are the risks. that's the key thing, this hour, that w

some of it i thought like cia director david petraeus they mark of cia and i said why your doing that? the letters he iowa are everywhere and they said well if you have the letters he iowaur n your look the cia will have to re-your book and i could take months longer for publication so i said -- i'll make this quick because of the much longer answer. the fbi oversees over 70 offices throughout the world and most people don't don't know that we are received in what the fbi does if there's a nexus to an investigation here in united states and has a nexus to china which is one of the places i was stationed i'm a person who works with the chinese government to get that information evidence or whatever they need and get that back to the united states so the united states a week into do our investigation and vice versa. if the chinese have an investigation i help them with that. the fbi is the head of the office and that's generally what you are doing. you are morbidly a gene -- liaison. if there is a case or a terrorist bombing which happened in one of the cases like covered if the governm

so the former cia officer says that he does not embellish reality in favor of one of the parties, heies on facts. russia knows that they need ukraine, they know that with its help they can defend themselves against western pressure. they need it from the point of view of agriculture. they have major oil and gas pipelines there. they cannot allow the fall of eastern ukraine from the united states. there is no economic benefit. nato has it too exclusively ideological struggle on the part of the west, for example, he speaks about the lend list, believing that nato countries led by the united states are plunging ukraine into kabbalah, noting that if the west believed in the victory of kiev, it would provide much more tangible support things by their proper names. every time they launch a rocket or a drone, ukraine gets a bill to pay the same scheme used to help london fight the nazis uk until 2020, no could pay off those shields, that is, this is a way to establish control, power is power. this means establishing very close relations between ukraine and the united states. it seems to be

. >>> joining us now is the former director of the cia john brennan. director, thank you for being with us particularly on short notice. i want to start with the obvious question. how big of a deal is this? >> it is a really big deal, when i heard about this, that there could be documents related to nuclear matters, whether it be our nuclear force structure, decision making, practices, and procedures, as well as presidential authorities, these are exceptionally sensitive documents that are restricted in terms of who has access to them, who can handle them, how they're stored, and to take them out of the white house, i think is just the height of recklessness and irresponsibility. when i learned n-being in the white house, and the homeland security adviser and deputy security adviser, i had access and when i was director of the cia, i no longer had access and i didn't need to and also because they needed to be under tremendous lock and key and they are not even up loaded in top secret information systems, they're that sensitive, so i don't know what the

government, with the cia, for example. it can also lead to threats to our own officers who work with those penetrations of foreign governments or terrorist organizations, for example, and that's why this is so potentially dangerous to our national security. we depend on information that's gathered through these means to keep americans safe, and the fact that these documents were found and hoarded by former president trump and his residential basement, you know, which is also a club where plenty of people visit and people who should not have access to classified, especially not highly classified information, is a great security concern. and so, you know, i'm personally eager to see how bad the damage is. we'll see what we learn, you know, as the public. i'm not sure, we probably won't receive the full report, of course, but obviously this is highly concerning. >> and the affidavit revealed some of those classified documents retrieved from mar-a-lago, the type of documents, they include the marking hcs, natasha was just talk

assessed the current situation, the former cia operative andrew bustamante.nterview to one of the popular podcasts and surprised the listeners, which eugene found out was incomprehensible. ukraine is just a pawn on a chessboard, superpowers phrase from the air of one of the popular american podcasts, said it, interestingly, the former cia agent spoke about andrew bustamante, a veteran of military operations of the central intelligence agency. he worked as some kind of official, he was an operative, you consider a spy. his statement is dissonant with the mainstream agenda, therefore the road on the air of large english-language media is ordered to him. i don't know why it seems to people that the information that they read in english is more true. any informational message coming from the west is also a huge narrative aimed at undermining the morale of russian speakers of english. we need to admit that we are not getting reliable information from the other side of the podcast where such claims are made by lex friedman he was born in moscow to a native family.

but i must, say having worked with the cia for many years, and including as his director, the cia alonga work very closely on these counterterrorism operations. as well as with the military. and as general mccaffrey said, these platforms the predators, the drones, they are primarily intelligence collection platforms. they collect technical signals, and then there used to carry out these very precise strikes within inches, they are laser guided. over the course of the last 15 years or so, there has been the technology that has been developed on the missiles, the platform selves they really allow these exquisite operations to take place, despite the fact that we don't have the presence on the ground in afghanistan. president biden was true to his word, that we withdrew our troops, and we're still gonna have the capability to direct these threats, and take an actual and appropriate, and we did this past weekend. >> well, even if al qaeda is decapitated, i can't imagine they're gonna take this and move on, general, which will be looking at next from them? , >> well, i think there's always b

whether be cia, and i say or others. they determine exactly what the potential damage might be but then it will be up to the department of justice to take a look at the information that's available and determine whether or not crimes have been committed. whether not there was some conspiracy to conceal these documents, the law to the government about the presidents of these documents at mar-a-lago. and so this is going to be i think a full,, for a court effort on the part of the u.s. government agencies to again reduce and limit the amount of damage that may have been done to prevent any further leakage or hemorrhaging of information. and then to hold accountable those individuals who i think for a blatantly and brazenly violated the rules of the u.s. government when it comes to the national security. >> john, bright and good to see you again thank you for joining us throughout the week to help us get greater clarity on this important situation. john brennan a former director of the cia and msnbc, senior national securit

the fact that the cia had actively planned to murder julia savage, or to kidnap julian assange in london. and, and the fact that the cia had bugged the dorian embassy for both audio and video in order to listen to what he was telling his lawyers. because of that, he can't possibly get a fair trial in the united states. so while the suit against the ca itself, as a suit, probably won't go anywhere. the rest of that information ought to be evidence in julian assign just case i personally don't think there's a chance of a fair trial. now, julian has been charged in a federal district. the easter district of virginia, which is called the espionage court. it's called the espionage board because no espionage defendant has ever won a case there. and keep in mind that julian jury, because of the location of this court in suburban virginia, julian's jury will be made up of people who worked for, or who have relatives who worked for the cia, the f. b. i. the department of homeland security. the department of defense and intelligence community contractors. that's not fair. that's not a fair trial a

hayden chimed in last night saying, i agree and i was a cia director. wow, did all the domestic spying fry these brains? let's get into it with tonight's party panel we have katie pavolich here and american hero joey jones and jeff di st. yes. that is really saying something. you know, the -- we look at what's happening in afghanistan now under the taliban, katie, and it's horrific. vast majority of that entire population is starving. there's babies starving to death in hospitals. republicans are worse than that. is that what he's saying? >> yeah, apparently republicans are also worse than isis taking americans hostage and behad hadding them -- beheading them on videos for their families to see. it's an appalling comparison to make and the same cia director that implied president trump should be executed after mentioning the rumors of nuclear material were allegedly found at mar-a-lago. you know, we hear a whole lot from the left, which this, you know, he's now on the left even though he's a former republican about rhetoric and taking down the temperatu

so while the suit against the cia itself, as a suit probably won't go anywhere. the rest of that information ought to be evidence in julianna's sanchez case, i personally don't think there's a chance of a fair trial. no, julian has been charged in a federal district. the eastern district of virginia, which is called the espionage court. it's called the espionage port because no espionage defendant has ever won a case there. and keep in mind that julian's jury, because of the location of this court in suburban virginia, julian's jury will be made up of people who work for, or who have relatives who worked for the cia, the f. b. i. the department of homeland security. the department of defense and intelligence community contractors. that's not fair. that's not a for the u. s. has been trying to pretend it isn't liable for the dads of afghans during its chaotic withdrawal from the country one year go this month. that's according to afghan authorities investigating the deaths of civilians who were trying to evacuate from couples. airport r t 's, maria from ocean a sh

we know this will be seen as a major victory for the president and for the cia.l of the intelligence community. there was a $25 million bounty on the al qaeda leader's head. that was placed in 2011 after he replaced osama bin laden as the leader of al qaeda. when the united states took out osama bin laden. the day today activities he has had for al qaeda are unclear but here is the president with the details of the takedown. >> my fellow americans, on saturday at my direction the united states successfully completed an air strike that killed the mayor of al qaeda. ayman al-zawahiri. you know, zawahiri wasn't bin laden's leader. he was with him the whole time. he was his number two man and his deputy at the time of the terrorist attack. he was deeply involved in the planning of 9/11. he was responsible for the attack that murdered 2977 people on american soil. for decades, he was the mastermind behind attacks against americans including the bombing of the uss coal in 2000 which killed 17 american sailors and wounded dozens more. he played a key role in the bombing
