The killing of al-Zawahiri sparked a strong reaction in Afghan society. Most of al-Zawahiri’s supporters blame the Taliban for failing to protect him. Influential representatives of the Taliban also condemned the U.S. operation.
Anas Haqqani, brother of Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Afghan Minister of Interior who had been on the U.S. blacklist for many years, condemned the attack, writing on Twitter that “this U.S. attack is a barbaric act and will have serious consequences.”
The Washington Post, citing experts, reports that the drone strike may harden the Taliban’s stance and push the regime towards an open embrace of extremist forces, which it had committed to renounce in the 2020 peace agreement with the United States.
The U.S. State Department warned on Tuesday that U.S. citizens may face terrorist acts in connection with the elimination of Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
However, the U.S. State Department announced the use of greater force in the face of potential attacks.
Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed on August 1 in a targeted strike on a mansion in the Sherpur area of Kabul.
