he was the leader of the northern alliance in afghanistan. he was the strongest leader in that country opposed to the taliban. zawahiri wiped him out on september 9th, 2001, doing a huge favor to the taliban. and getting the taliban to himself, essentially. and then, two days later, they rain down hell on the united states of america on september 11th, 2001, in pennsylvania, in new york city, and the pentagon. this was the first wanted poster put out for ayman al-zawahiri after 9/11. this is from october 2001, just weeks after the attack. you see the reward for information leading to his capture at that point, $5 million. that would soon quintuple to a 25 million dollar reward, the largest reward offered for anyone on earth. after a u.s. navy seal mission in 2011 took out osama bin laden, zawahiri became the head of al-qaeda. at that point, zawahiri became literally the most wanted terrorist on the fbi's list of most wanted terrorists. and you can see, if you look at the two different wanted posters, you can see that over 20 years plus, all t

last one year, we have continuously reported the presence of drones over kabul, northern and eastern parts of afghanistanlso means that the americans in particular did not trust the taliban as partners. there was this joke going around kabul before afghanistan fell to the taliban, there was a counterterrorism corporation going on between the americans and the taliban. where i come from, there was a time when there was evidence that the americans were carrying out airstrikes against the islamic state. possibly the coordinates were given by mobile phone. that did not send a powerful message at the time to the afghan government, specifically to special forces, who had a close relationship with the american army. amy: we want to end by going back to president biden's speech last night and getting professor greenberg's comments. pres. biden: as commander-in-chief, it is my solemn responsibility to make american save in a dangerous world. the united states did not seek this war against terror, you came to us. we answer with the same principles and resolve that has shaped us for generations. to protect the inno

were clearly providing safety to zawahiri and facilitated his departure from northern pakistan across the border into afghanistan and kabul and a safe house that was basically owned and operated by taliban elements. so the big question is whether or not the pakistani government did also facilitate that because one of the he coo concerns the u.s. intelligence community has is zawahiri really has not been involved in operational activities over the past number of years because he's been in relative seclusion and isolation in northern pakistan. he hasn't been able to communicate on a regular basis with al qaeda operatives. being in kabul greatly facilitates that type of communication. and so the question is whether or not he was there as a way to reconstitute al qaeda's presence in afghanistan and use it as a springboard to carry out terrorist operations beyond afghanistan's border, particularly against u.s. interests because zawahiri was one of the individuals, the principal individual who encouraged bin laden to take his jihad beyond the region of afghanistan and the middle east and south asia and to make sure th

northern syria because of that incident with turkey moving in their. that was a remarkable feat. this still carries, u.s. state -- after the u.s. pulled out of afghanistan. so the reach is pretty remarkable. there's now a question regarding who takes his place. -- the un has said in neighboring iran, the question of course for a run is if they accept that's the case. does he stay there? they would be harboring the new leader of al-qaeda. these are urgent questions, certainly, for the region. and certainly to, what can the taliban do to try to reclaim the idea that it's not going to create another haven for al-qaeda? i think that's a slight fiction. most people thought it was convenient to justify the u.s. departure from afghanistan. they couldn't just say it would go back to what it was prior to 9/11. but we've got a difficult moment here. -- -- we had a lot of pushback from u.s. officials saying, well, that isn't so much the case. now, we have something quite as public and blatant as al-zawahiri living in plain sight, we said earlier on, and one of the nicest parts of town, in a safe house. almost certainly with taliban acquiescence. that's startling f
