Targeting Ayman al-Zawahiri: a just elimination or just an elimination?

Blog entry
On August 1st, U.S. President Joe Biden announced the elimination of the leader of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, on the day before in the Afghan capital, Kabul. In declaring that justice had “been delivered,” President Biden was following in the footsteps of those who, before him – Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush – had seen in the elimination of leaders of jihadist terrorist organizations a form of justice. To what order of justice is he referring here?
Terrorism
Al Qaeda
Targeted killing
Ethics of war
International law
Justice
US foreign policy
