**This was a surprise to me. This news that is. Seemed to have come out of nowhere. I was under the impression Zawahiri was already dead.**

While it is not news that Zawahiri is alive, well, and communicating comfortably, **some terrorism analysts previously claimed Zawahiri was dead as recently as Nov. 2020.** While not explicitly stated, Zawahiri is likely operating inside Afghanistan.

![](https://i0.wp.com/pennyforyourthoughts2.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/image-2.png?resize=580%2C641&ssl=1)**Nearly two years ago he was reported to have died. In his home. Of natural causes. A month after he had died. There were reports he was unwell.**

**SO…….**

**I can’t take this claimed assassination as truth. It absolutely feels like a rerun of the OBL hit. Nothing catapults propaganda better then repetition. The assassination of Osama Bin Laden, on Obama’s watch, didn’t ring as true either.**

**The US needed some kind of distraction/win scenario. So they created one. This feels like a psyop**.

**Potentially useful as well for justifying more US activity in Afghanistan.**

**How you interpret it is entirely up to you.**
