US hellfire missiles that took out Zawahiri reportedly flew from Kyrgyzstan

• The US drone that eliminated Al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri in Kabul was possibly laun­ched from an airbase in Kyrgyzstan, some US media reports have claimed. They claimed that the attack was launched from Ganci Airbase, a US transit facility at Manas in Northern Kyrgyzstan. According to the US Department of Defence, Ganci was a former American military base in Kyrgyzstan, near the Bishkek international airport. It was operated by the US Air Force, which handed it over to the Kyrgyz military in June 2014. Watch this video for more.
