US Aid Worker Says He Lived ‘Frat Party’ Life In House Where Al-Qaida Leader Was Vaporized

A U.S. aid worker said he used to live the life of luxury at the same house where Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was taken out by U.S. forces Sunday.

Dan Smock, 48, who now lives in Texas, explained to The Daily Beast how the Kabul home where Zawahiri was killed on the balcony was actually a house where American aid workers lived and partied.


“It’s kind of a weird thing,” Smock said. “I talked to a few people about it, the people I used to live there with. We’ve all been kind of looking at some of our old pictures that we were able to dig up. Most of them are blurry or full of drunk people, but, you know.”

Terror Threat: Al Qaeda’s Next Leader Has Deep Ties to Iran

Iran and al Qaeda have quietly forged a strategic terror alliance

The man likely to become al Qaeda's next leader has spent decades using Iran as a base of operations and maintains deep ties to the hardline regime, signaling that two of the globe's leading terrorist forces could exponentially expand relations in the near future.

Saif al-Adel, al Qaeda's number two leader and longtime head of its security arm, fled to Iran in the early 2000s, along with other senior leaders, following the September 11 attacks. From there, he helped relay orders from the just-killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and orchestrate terrorist operations that killed dozens of people, including Americans, according to former U.S. officials and information on the Iran-al Qaeda axis published by a watchdog group.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) protected al-Adel during his time in the country, and the regime permitted him to plan deadly terror attacks, including a May 2003 operation in Saudi Arabia that killed eight Americans. "Adel's suspected presence in Iran has raised further questions regarding Iranian influence on al Qaeda if Adel were to be named leader," according to United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), an advocacy group that closely tracks Iran's regional terror operations.

Oh please please please get Al Qaeda into Iran. A perfect opportunity to blow up two terrorist groups at the same time and dilute the level of Persian asshattery the civilized world has to deal with.

He’s been hunted for decades. But Joe somehow manages to close the deal? I’m not buying it.

Political opponent? I’m an Independent. Joe is clearly not a capable POTUS and the crimes that his family get away with is abhorrent.

Ironic that you cite “divided” with this clown show of an administration and the partisan legislature.

You're not buying it? Buying what? That Biden is President when he's killed? You just can't celebrate good news because of your hate.

Good heavens it was a joke
Sensitive as hell

I've tried joking and being sarcastic a few times on here. It never goes over too well.

I'm not sure what is worse on this forum. The lack of sense of humor or the lack of intellectual curiosity.

What if I’m just curiously lacking in intellectual humor ?
