The Taliban are saying that they have no information or evidence indicating that Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed with a US drone strike a few days ago.

There appears to have been a drone strike of some kind conducted by the US, but no confirmation that Zawahiri himself was killed in it. It’s just the US saying he was killed with no evidence.
Al-Qaeda chief and a key 9/11 mastermind, Ayman Al-Zawahiri was killed in the US drone strike. Its been four days since the strike, but neither the US nor the Taliban has released any material evidence of Zawahiri's death.@SaroyaHem talks to @AnasMallick for details pic.twitter.com/FxjHYywXGD

Have you noticed that's so far only thing confirmed is that a drone has struck a house in Kabul.
Absolutely nothing beyond that.Only Americans have made a claim on Zawahiri. But there is no evidence.
Afghan Taliban are silent too.Do NOT trust everything you hear.

I think we can safely conclude that the Zawahiri drone strike death story is fake news. He probably has been dead for years. I mean, he was reported to be dead numerous times in the past. Plus, pretty much everything we see from the US government is a lie or some sort of bullshit propaganda.
