It would appear that Anwar Al-Awlaki won't be attending any more private meetings inside the Pentagon while being listed on the F.B.I's most wanted list.
In 2009 Anwar Al-Awlaki was suspected to have been killed in an airstrike over Yemen. According to an ABC News article:
an air raid in Yemen this morning may have killed two top al Qaeda officials as well as an imam believed to have inspired the alleged Fort Hood shooter.The first Al-Awlaki kill occurred immediately following the Foot Hood shooting. Al-Awlaki was being presented as the mastermind of another terrorist plot. By announcing his death only a month after Foot Hood, and the memories of the murders fresh in the minds of the public, they could capitalize off the propaganda.
Al-Awlaki was killed for a second time today by a drone attack over Yemen. Sources explain to The Guardian the attack:
Al-Awlaki is believed to have been killed on Friday morning, 90 miles (140 kilometres) east of Sana'a, with witnesses saying the militant cleric that Awlaki was getting into a car with a group of supporters when a US drone missile attack hit the vehicle.There are reports, however, that Al-Awlaki wasn't killed in the attacks. One Chinese newspaper is reporting Awlaki is alive, and wasn't present in the convoy.
It would appear that Al-Awlaki has been killed twice to suit U.S. propaganda needs. The first death came on the heels of the Foot Hood shooting, and the second has come on news of the F.B.I.'s homegrown terrorist plot..
If both attacks happened then one has to question who the American tax-payers dollars have been killing. How much is the U.S. paying for the soldiers, and equipment for these attacks, and couldn't that money go some place better than to creating a backdrop for alleged killings (murder) to suit political agenda's?
