He was considered the mastermind of the September 11 attacks. Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has been killed in Afghanistan, Joe Biden confirmed Monday night in a televised address. "On Saturday, on my orders, the United States carried out an airstrike on Kabul that killed the emir of Al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri," Joe Biden announced from the White House, adding: "Justice has been served and this terrorist leader is no more. "According to a senior American official, al-Zawahiri was killed on his balcony without any other victims. The absence of a trace of an explosion suggests the use of a weapon whose very existence has never been confirmed: the Hellfire R9X "flying ginsu" missiles. This modified version would be devoid of explosive charge, but equipped with six blades that deploy before impact to cut its target without blowing effect.

We will have to go in search of freshness, because after going through the driest July on record, France wakes up this Tuesday under a third summer heat wave. The latter rises and intensifies in the south of the country, making the consequences of global warming more and more noticeable.
This new heatwave promises to be shorter and less intense, Météo-France specifies, than that of mid-July, during which absolute records had been broken in 64 municipalities, flirting with, or even exceeding, 40 ° C in several localities. But this rapid return of hot weather has hit most of the country already affected by an exceptional drought and with immediate consequences, especially on agriculture, river transport or aquatic recreation.
