A senior administration official told Fox News that this weekend "a counterterrorism operation was conducted against a significant al-Qaeda target in Afghanistan". The target was reportedly none other than Egypt's Ayman al-Zawahiri, 71, the leader of the Islamist terrorist network since a Navy Seal commando shot down its founder, Saudi Osama bin Laden, in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2, 2011.

Al-Zawahiri, also known as The Doctor, was bin Laden's physician and right-hand man. He was considered the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history, in which nearly 3,000 people were killed.
