that is al-zawahri. death is actually a very important moment in understanding, addressing 9/11, the war on terror. although in many ways terrorism may continue to collaborate -- proliferate around the world, and there are a number of splinter groups, the question is, is this the final part of the post 9/11 war on terror no matter what the future may bring? those are my initial thoughts on it. amy: the author lawrence wright wrote extensively on al-zawahri in his book. in 2010, he appeared on "fresh air," and talked about how al-zawahri was further radicalized after being imprisoned in egypt. >> many of the ideas that were percolating they are boiled into al qaeda. there is one thing that i think was not voiced as an idea, but the torture they endured, in my opinion, is what really gave them an appetite for revenge. the bloodletting that is so characteristic of al qaeda, unusual for terror groups, which are usually interested in theater, was born in the humiliation that those men felt in those egyptian p

it began when they began to point tort ayman al c-zawahri being in kawabul. he was known to be there in april. they began to build a profile of his movements and how they could strike him. you saw the photo from july when they finally had taken to biden with all of this top national security advisors inside the box in the photo was a scale model of the house that zawahri was staying in in kabul. the president was concerned to avoid civilian casualties and wanted a strike not to cause the house to fall down compromising structural integrity. that's what happened according to u.s. officials. he was the only person killed and they did not take out the en entire complex and they confirmed it was zawahri and said this puts the taliban in violation of their agreement not to harbor terrorists on their soil. here is john kirby on new day this morning. >> we don't have dna confirmation and won't get the dna confirmation and we don't need it. we have visual confairmation an have confirmation from other sources. >> reporter: now, of course, we under lined the double edg

killed top al quaida leader ayman al-zawahri over the weekend.ignificant blow to the terror group, and his death means all the top plotters behind the september 11 terror attacks are either dead or captured. al-zawahri took over as the leader of al quaida following the 2011 raid that killed osama bin laden. we want to bring in cbs's nancy cordes at the white house with the freshest details. good evening, nancy. >> good evening, john. we will be briefed by senior administration officials about this operation shortly. but here's what i can tell you right now. cbs news has confirmed the de facto leader of al quaida, ayman al-zawahri, was targeted and killed in an un-manned c.i.a. drone strike over the weekend in afghanistan. senior officials say the operation was successful and that there were no civilian casualties. now, here's why this is so significant -- ayman al-zawahri has been the leader of al quaida for more than a decade, ever since observe bin was killed by u.s. n navy seals in pakistan in 2011. al-zawahri helped plan the 9/11 and other at

zawahri was osama bin laden's top person. an active threat to the united states. >> while he wasn't involved in day to day planning, we believe, in the years and months leading up to us taking him off the battle field, we do believe he was playing an active role at a strategic level and directing al qaeda and continuing to pose a severe threat against the united states and american citizens everywhere. >> zawahri's death comes 11 years after the u.s. killed bin laden and one year after the u.s. military complainted the chaotic withdraw from afghanistan leaving the country in the hands of the taliban. joining me for much more, bob b baer. cnn international nick paton walsh. nick, zawahri was one of the most visible terrorists left. you can almost argue he's one of few who many americans still had name recognition of. what do you think of how jake sullivan described his role in al qaeda's network now? >> frankly, he's going to have better information than me managing to find this guy in the middle of kabul with no boots of the

they were the ones who were hosting zawahri, but i think that this attack and getting zawahri is actuallycation of the baden administration's policy. a year ago president biden said we are going to end this 20-year war. we're going withdraw our troops, but we've got the capability, using intelligence, use over-the-horizon weapons technologies and use the full set of resources we've got to identify terror leaders and to eliminate them when we need to do it, and, you know, not only did they do that in this case fullfully. they did without any civilian casualties. it was a remarkable precision strike. it was a remarkable triumph on the part of the u.s. intelligence community, but as somebody in the administration pointed out to me today, it also means that osama bin laden and zawahri both were taken out by discreet strikes and not by massive land wars, and, you know, $3 trillion into the 20-year wars. thousands of u.s. dead and hundreds of thousands of dead elsewhere in the region. i think maybe one of the messages we should take away from this is this is what we should have been doing all a

drone of al qaeda leader ayman al-zawahri here in central kabul to tw two weeks ago.ten to what he had to say. the taliban says it wants to see peaceful and positive relations with all countries including the u.s. but those prospects were dramatically diminished and ayman zawahri was killed in downtown kabul over two weeks ago. >> we've made it very clear that the government of afghanistan was unaware of the arrival or presence of mr. zawahri in k kabul. so far we have been unable to establish as a matter of fact that mr. zawahri was indeed present in kabul. >> reporter: isn't that more frightening, the idea that you're claiming potentially the leader of al qaeda was here in the center of the city and you didn't even know about it? >> we contend that notion that he was even present here but even if he was, these types of incidents happen everywhere in the world. >> reporter: but they really don't. how can the u.s. possibly trust the taliban leadership to stay true to the promise it will not allow sanctuary to be granted to terrorist groups? >> if we look at the agreem

i'm glad al-zawahri is dead, but we lost our focus. war ii, did not have the vision or the strength or patience to do it in afghanistan. >> sandra: so many people listening to you, veterans, and some who served this multiple times, they hear and share your passion and your thoughts on that, and trey, i'm amazed as we do this reporters' notebook here, how many wars you have covered and you'll take a brief break in the middle of it, you'll come back to civilian life to take your break and you dive right back in. that's what all of you have done throughout this. that's what you do, and you'll continue to tell these people's stories to steve's point, will continue to suffer on the ground without change. >> absolutely. so many people left behind in afghanistan by the united states, interpreters, translator, people who worked as cooks in the u.s. embassy and drivers, begging us, seeing that we were american, asking what happened, why did they leave us behind and steve notes, 20 years of an effort where it looked like the country could be cha

what was left of the original group is really zawahri, sort of the leader, and a few others. successor is perhaps in iran these days. there's difficulty communicating with their rank and file. there was disillusionment with the leadership because they didn't seem to be doing much, hadn't had a major attack in many years. the guy at the top was a very boring guy who liked to write long books, wasn't a man of the internet age. now it will be interesting to see what happens next. there's a void and somebody has to step into it. it could be someone with talent and energy. or it could be what we've seen recently, which is a scattered, disbursed organization without strong leadership. it remains to be seen. >> general, according to initial reports there was no collateral damage, a semantic way of saying innocent people killed in an attack. it seems as though these hell fire missiles, they didn't have an explosive head on it. it seems as though there's high-tech weaponry being used to take out these people. >> the sophistication of this particular operation cannot be understated. so
