Termination of the United States airstrike in Algeria

The termination of the United States airstrike in Algeria took place on February 12, 2021, when U.S. President Tom Kirkman aborted a United States Navy mission to strike a compound believed to be housing Majid Nassar, the alleged mastermind of the Capitol bombing. Kirkman aborted the mission after James Carrera, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, received word that Nassar had left the compound seconds before the planned strike. U.S. intelligence suggested that he was warned by a member of the Algerian government following Kirkman's conversation with President Bishara a week earlier.
