No Second Chances For Ayman al-Zawahiri?
You only live twice?
You may have read recently that the CIA ‘killed’ Ayman al-Zawahiri using a “non-explosive” AGM-114 Hellfire R9X air-to-surface missile, nicknamed “the flying Ginsu”, a kitchen knife that can supposedly cut through metal, after the fact the missile launches six razors with blades of approx. 12 inches in length.
Bluecheck Twitter user Charles Lister (part of the US thinktank Middle East Institute) reports that another man’s children - Sirajuddin Haqqani’s son and son-in-law - who weren’t part of the target list - were killed in the strike ‘along side’ al-Zawahiri.
Lister disgustingly tries to justify it that because Sirajuddin was the first deputy leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan since 2016, it is okay to chop up his sons without trial using 400mph flying metal blades of death.
Family association is enough to justify guilt, is it Charles?
That said, there’s a mystery to behold.
The Mystery Death Of Ayman al-Zawahiri
Rolling back the clock to 2020 will find that Ayman al-Zawahiri had already died before, supposedly of “natural causes” via an asthma attack, which is something the Google’s AI will show as part of an embed for the search set to that specific range (you can see an archived copy of it here):
Indian state backed WION (short for “World is One News”) - quoted by Google above - aired the declaration back in 2020 that Ayman al-Zawahiri had already died, citing “Arab News”:
The Al-Qaeda chief reportedly died of natural causes. According to Arab News, Zawahiri died in Ghazni due to asthma.
Pakistani news “Daily Times” echoed similarly, including Pakistani sources saying the same thing, including an “Al-Qaeda translator”:
Arab News stated in its report that it spoke to at least four security sources in Pakistan and Afghanistan – who spoke on condition of anonymity – out of which two confirmed Zawahiri’s death. An Al-Qaeda translator said Zawahiri had died last week in Ghazni. “He died of asthma because he had no formal treatment.”
The news also posits from another Pakistani intel source it was, however, kidney failure:
To my knowledge he was extremely ill and had the issue of kidney failure,” the intelligence official said. “He was unable to manage his dialysis but I still need to confirm if he has died.”
Which is odd given that was what Osama Bin Laden was claimed to have suffered from. The Arab News report declaring Ayman al-Zawahiri’s death in 2020 can be found here, a source also repeated by the UK government financed The Sun. Arab News mentions slightly more details:
“He [Zawahiri] died last week in Ghazni,” an Al-Qaeda translator who still enjoys close ties with the group, told Arab News on Tuesday. “He died of asthma because he had no formal treatment.”
Ghazni is located in east Afghanistan, towards Kabul:
His death wasn’t merely repeated by three media outlets however (three men, after all, do not make a tiger). The Brookings Institute - a Washington DC policy thinktank - went so far as to speculate on the consequences of his death with a URL that had the odd line “order-from-chaos” embedded in it:
https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2020/11/17/the-death-of-ayman-al-zawahri-and-the-future-of-al-qaida/
Brookings went on to quote Twitter Bluecheck “Hassan I. Hassan” calling him a “[…] journalist and veteran jihadi-watcher […]”. Hassan declared, based on his sources, that Ayman al-Zawahiri was either seriously ill, or most definitely dead:
So convinced was Hassan, that he did a follow up tweet 4 days later, re-insisting that Ayman al-Zawahiri was definitely dead:
So the question then becomes, who exactly did the CIA kill in that building if it wasn’t Ayman al-Zawahiri? ZeroHedge claims the CIA had been monitoring the already dead man for months, based on a report by Bloomberg, where they claim the CIA had been following Zawahiri’s family in order to find Zawahiri.
It’s a bit odd though, because the house wasn’t actually owned by Zawahiri or any of his family…
Musical Houses
Rupert Murdoch associated Fox news drew attention to a New York Times Op-Ed, adding the rather interesting detail that:
The house al-Zawahri[sic] was killed in was owned by an aide to Sirajuddin Haqqani
Given two of Sirjuddin’s family - his son and his son-in-law - were killed there as noted by Charles Lister, and the house was owned by an aide to Sirajuddin, can we be really sure it was al-Zawahiri who was killed? I’m not so sure we can be.
Expanding on the article further, Fox News berates the CIA-associated New York Times for having ties to the Taliban and trying to hide it:
The New York Times was accused of stealth-editing its report on the U.S. drone strike that killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri, scrubbing his ties to a Taliban leader the paper previously gave a platform to.
The New York Times historically gave a platform to the first deputy leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan - also known as Sirajuddin Haqqani - allowing him to write an Op-Ed on their platform.
The Daily Beagle believes in free speech, and allowing people to converse is necessary to allow peace to happen, so we don’t berate the New York Times for doing this. We do however berate them for trying to scrub and censor critical information.
What is curious is the CIA-connected New York Times - which had to run stories past CIA censors before publication - was allowed to publish Taliban/Al Qaeda material by the first deputy leader Sirajuddin.
The US has a deep history with the Taliban (translated: “the students”), mujahideen (translated: “those who engage in jihad”) and al Qaeda (translated: “the Base”), with the Taliban being an off-shoot of the Mujahideen originally led by Mohammad Omar.
Al Qaeda was the name of the network that supplied and equipped the Mujahideen, and later, the Taliban. The US government originally financed and armed the Mujahideen in the Soviet-Afghanistan war in the 1980s, so it is quite reasonable to suggest the Taliban were a US creation, either directly or indirectly.
So when one sees a CIA controlled publication give airtime to a CIA influenced organisation, one has to raise a suspicious eyebrow as to what is going on.
Whoisit?
If the house was, according to Fox, owned by an aide to Sirajuddin Haqqani, had, according to Middle East Institute Charles Lister Sirajuddin Haqqani’s family there, and according to ZeroHedge “no DNA confirmation”, of a man who has been reported dead for nearly 2 years by a veteran jihadi-watcher with confirmation by an al-Qaeda translator, then who the hell did the CIA actually kill in that building?
It’s doubtful that Ayman al-Zawahiri only lives twice.
