Biography
Egyptian terrorist, bin Laden's most trusted advisor and probably the real mastermind of the terrorist attack plans on the U.S. on 11 September 2001. Al-Zawahiri was widely seen as the intellectual and ideological driving force behind the Al Qaeda (the Base). He was implicated in terrorist activities going back to the assassination of Anwar Sadat on 6 October 1981. A physician, he was a lifelong radical and the founder of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. This organization opposed the secular Egyptian Government and sought its overthrow through violent means.
Al-Zawahiri was indicted for his alleged role in the 7 August 1998, bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya.
He was the son of a pharmacology professor who died in 1995. He graduated from Cairo University Medical School in 1974 and later completed his master's in surgery. His family was noted for religious and political status. He was the author of several books on Islamic movements.
After a pediatric practice, he left his field to follow a path of violent opposition to the Cairo government and by the late '70s had taken over Islamic Jihad. He succeeded Bin Laden in 2011.
He was killed by an American drone strike on 31 July 2022 at 6:18 AM in Kabul, Afghanistan at the age of 71.
