On the Army side, hellfire missiles are laser-guided from the Gray Eagle UAS. As long as the UAS operators can laze the target then it can be engaged with onboard hellfire missiles. Video from the UAS sensor is real-time and you do not need someone on the ground as a forward observer.

Trump had the chance to kill Al Qaeda's leader but didn't because he didn't recognize the name, report says

 

President Donald Trump had the chance to kill the leader of Al Qaeda but didn't because he didn't recognize the terrorist leader's name, NBC News reported in 2020.

 

Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a US drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Saturday, President Joe Biden announced Monday.

 

His death, which has been praised by many world leaders, is the biggest blow to Al Qaeda since its founder, Osama bin Laden, was killed by US Navy SEALs in 2011.

 

But plans for al-Zawahiri's execution could have been carried out far earlier, according to an NBC News report published in February 2020.

 

Intelligence officials briefed Trump many times about senior terrorist figures the CIA wanted to track down and kill, mentioning al-Zawahiri, NBC News reported.

 

Two people familiar with the briefings told NBC News that Trump chose not to pursue al-Zawahiri because he didn't recognize his name and instead suggested targeting bin Laden's son, Hamza bin Laden.

 

"He would say, 'I've never heard of any of these people. What about Hamza bin Laden?'" one unnamed former official told NBC News.

 

A Pentagon official also told the news outlet: "That was the only name he knew."
