Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri was a key member of the groups terrorist activities long before he took over from evil mastermind Osama bin Laden.
The US announced the death of 71-year-old al-Zawahri in a brutal drone strike over the weekend, putting an end to years of massacre plotting.
Egyptian-born al-Zawahri succeeded Bin Laden following the latter’s death in 2011, who was also killed by Americans in a mission carried out by US Navy Seals in Pakistan.
The first time the world came to know al-Zawahri was in 1981, when he stood in a white robe a courtroom cage after the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat.
The trained surgeon, nicknamed The Doctor, was found not guilty but served a three-year jail term for illegal arms possession.
