'Secret weapon' used by CIA to kill Ayman Al-Zawahiri: It is believed that the United States used the macabre Hellfire R9X, a warhead-less missile equipped with six razor-like blades, to kill Al Qaeda chief Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Also called the "ninja bomb," the missile has become the US munition of choice for killing leaders of extremist groups while avoiding civilian casualties.
