The United States killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike. President Biden confirmed his death and warned others saying, “if you are a threat to our people, the United States will find you and take you out.” CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward joins AC360 to discuss Zawahiri’s killing and the future of al Qaeda.
