What is his involvement in 911? It seems like a fundamental thing that needs to be addressed in the article. Has he ever admitted to staging the attacks? Is there any evidence of his involvement? Is it even alledged that he was involved? ect. 68.188.25.170 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:37, 17 June 2011 (UTC).
In fact, there is no evidence that Zawahiri had a role in the planning of any of al-Qaeda’s major anti-American attacks against the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000, and 9/11 itself.
In 1998, al-Zawahiri formally merged the Egyptian Islamic Jihad into al-Qaeda. This seems to be wrong. All others are writing this happened in June 2001.

Bin Laden formally merged Zawahiri’s Jihad Group into al-Qaeda in June 2001.

The end came in June 2001, when al-Qaeda absorbed al-Jihad, creating an entity formally called Qaeda al-Jihad.

In the summer of 2001, Tanzim al-Jihad merged with al-Qaeda after lengthy negotiations, which ultimately caused a split in Tanzim al-Jihad.
