so alex, did the u.s. have any help on the ground from sources who were not americans? reporter: well, alisyn and victor, that is a terrific question. it s one of the many that we still have about how this intelligence was gathered and of course how this culminated in the killing of ayman al zawahiri. it s certainly possible that there were afghans acting as intelligence assets or agents on the ground, but for now, the administration is not detailing what they call the sources and methods that helped them gather this intelligence. it s very safe to assume that much of this intelligence was gathered from the sky through visual methods, drones and satellites as well as through what s known as signals intelligence, basically intercepting communications. but this was a months-long process. the white house saying today that this took most of the year, and president biden was first briefed in april when there were indications that zawahiri had moved not just to afghanistan but to
