Former President Donald Trump had a chance to take out Ayman al-Zawahiri but did not do so because he didn’t recognize the now deceased Al Qaeda leader’s name.


What Happened: Plans to target al-Zawahiri could have happened much earlier, but Trump chose not to pursue it because he didn’t recognize his name and instead suggested targeting Osama bin Laden’s son, Hamza bin Laden, reported Business Insider.


The former president, now chair of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), reportedly told Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officials, “I've never heard of any of these people. What about Hamza bin Laden?”


Former CIA official Douglas London said in a 2020 security report that Trump’s “obsession” with Hamza bin Laden was "one example of the president's preference for a 'celebrity' targeted killing versus prioritizing options that could prove better for U.S. security," according to the report.
