Al-Awlaki, Prominent US-Born al-Qaida Cleric,
Killed in Yemen in New Blow to Terror Network

SANAA, Yemen Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born Islamic militant cleric who
became a prominent figure in al-Qaidas most active branch, using his
fluent English and Internet savvy to draw recruits to carry out attacks in
the United States, was killed Friday in the mountains of Yemen, American
and Yemeni officials said.
.
The Yemeni government and Defense Ministry announced al-Awlakis death, but
gave no details. A senior U.S. official said American intelligence
supports the claim that he had been killed. The official spoke on
condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters
.
Yemeni security officials and local tribal leaders said the was killed in
an airstrike on his convoy that they believed was carried out by the
Americans. They said pilotless drones had been seen over the area in
previous days.
.
Al-Awlaki would be the most prominent al-Qaida figure to be killed since
Osama bin Ladens death in a U.S. raid in Pakistan in May. In July, U.S.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the Yemeni-American was a priority
target alongside Ayman al-Zawahri, bin Ladens successor as the terror
networks leader.
.
The 40-year-old al-Awlaki had been in the U.S. crosshairs since his
killing was approved by President Barack Obama in April 2010 making him
the first American placed on the CIA kill or capture list. At least twice,
airstrikes were called in on locations in Yemen where al-Awlaki was
suspected of being, but he wasnt harmed.
.
Al-Awlaki, born in New Mexico to Yemeni parents, was believed to be key in
turning al-Qaidas affiliate in Yemen into what American officials have
called the most significant and immediate threat to the Untied States. The
branch, led by a Yemeni militant named Nasser al-Wahishi, plotted several
failed attacks on U.S. soil the botched Christmas 2009 attempt to blow up
an American airliner heading to Detroit and a foiled 2010 attempt to main
explosives to Chicago.
.
Known as an eloquent preacher who spread English-language sermons on the
internet calling for holy war against the United States, al-Awlakis role
was to inspire and it is believed even directly recruit militants to
carry out attacks.
