"Hans-Jakob Schindler, Sr. Director of the Counter Extremism Project (former Coordinator of the U.N. Al Qaida, Taliban, ISIS monitoring team) discusses what happened."
CEP Advisory Board Member Nathan Sales quoted: "'Zawahiri’s presence in post-withdrawal Afghanistan suggests that, as feared, the Taliban is once more granting safe haven to the leaders of al-Qaeda — a group with which it has never broken,' said Nathan Sales, a former ambassador at large and counterterrorism coordinator for the State Department during the Trump administration.
While the CIA was able to track and kill Zawahiri in Kabul using remote surveillance, it’s not clear that the U.S. success 'can be replicated against other terrorist targets,' Sales added."
President Joe Biden tonight confirmed the death of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri yesterday in a U.S. drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan.

The Counter Extremism Project Presents
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
