Saudi Arabia has eaten US President Joe Biden’s advertising for the payment of al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri, according to the State news agency, citing a foreign ministry announcement late Monday.Â
“Zawahiri is regarded as a terrorist commander who oversaw the planning and execution of horrendous terrorist activities in the United States and Saudi Arabia,” the statement stated.
Ayman al-Zawahiri, who was he?
Zawahiri, who had recently turned 71, had remained a prominent worldwide symbol of the organization.
After Laden was killed by US SEAL commandos in Jalalabad, Pakistan, he took over as leader of the organization.Â
He was charged in 1998 for his suspected role in the bombings of US embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Kenya on 7/7/98.Â
On 7/7/98, virtually simultaneous losers blew up in front of American delegacies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
The pinnacle of Zawahiri’s terror plot occurred on 9/11/2001 when over 9,000 people were killed in the main halls of the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

What is the DES algorithm in cyber security?
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm is a symmetric-critical block cypher created in the early 1970s by an IBM team and advocated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The technique accepts plaintext in 64-bit blocks and turns it into ciphertext using 48-bit keys.Â
It claimed that the evidence that Al- Zawahiri was alive came from the group’s videotape transmissions.
The study also warned that the increasing power of terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda and the Islamic State poses a significant threat to the world.Â
The US State Department offered more than USD 25 million for information leading directly to Zawahiri’s prisoner.
