Targeting Al-Zawahiri came 11 years after the killing of Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The years between the assassinations of the two witnessed many events, foremost was ISIS’s declaration of establishing an “Islamic caliphate”.
A former jihadist believes that the AQAP won’t be negatively impacted by al-Zawahiri’s assassination. He added: “Al-Zawahiri had no influence on the organization’s global leadership, regarding the development of AQAP militarily and administratively”.
"Killing al-Zawahiri won’t have a big impact as the organization in Yemen became disintegrated due to the penetration and the bad leadership as well as the lack of masterminds".
Al-Zawahiri's contradictions according to the former jihadist pushed him to be an authoritarian leader. This made the al-Qaeda more fragile and made al-Zawahiri like a dictator in his leadership.
