The CIA revealed the model of Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri’s safe house in Kabul that was used to plan the U.S. drone strike that killed him last month.
A model of the house where al-Qaida's leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed by a CIA team is displayed in the museum at the agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, on Saturday.The CIA on Saturday unveiled the model of Ayman al-Zawahiri’s safe house in Kabul used to plan the U.S. drone strike that killed the Al-Qaeda leader last month.
The model, about a foot long with precise detail, shows a miniature four-story white structure surrounded by a wall topped with concertina wire. Zawahiri was struck by a Hellfire missile as he stood on the balcony of the house, U.S. officials say. A balcony is clearly visible on the model. “He carved a trail of murder and violence against American citizens, American service members, American diplomats and American interests,” Biden said.
The museum also includes exhibits and artifacts covering the Cold War and the post-9/11 era, including hidden cameras and “dead drop” objects meant to conceal messages passed to and from foreign sources. In one case, a crushed Russian milk carton was used to hide a message, and in another, a gutted dead rat.
There is also an exhibit on counter-intelligence that addresses the damage done by moles inside the intelligence agency, including Aldrich Ames, the CIA officer convicted of passing secrets to the Soviets for years.
