Al Qaeda's return to Afghanistan is proof Biden’s chaotic withdrawal left a failed terrorist state run by the Taliban. Now the U.S. is in far greater danger.
Zawahri was killed on a balcony in the Sherpur district of downtown Kabul, a stone’s throw from the former British embassy. Taliban acting Minister of Interior Sirajuddin Haqqani, whom the U.S. Department of State designated a Global Terrorist in 2008 over the Haqqani Network’s alliance with al Qaeda, reportedly oversaw Zawahri’s security and arranged what turned out to be a not very safe,"safe house" for Zawahri, and his family.
The Taliban extended their safe haven to the Pakistani Taliban, which has Pakistan’s civilian population, government, and nuclear program in its crosshairs. The successful strike on Zawahri, the first reported counterterrorism operation in Afghanistan since the U.S. withdrawal, does not prove the efficacy of the Biden administration’s"over the horizon" strategy," an otherwise pleasant sounding phrase, which fails to acknowledge the significant degradation of the find, fix and finish counterterrorism capability in Afghanistan, which has kept our nation safe since 9/11. And let’s be clear.
