The Yemeni government killed at least 34 people today in an attack on what they referred to as a “suspected al-Qaeda site” but was later revealed to be the home of US-born cleric Anwar al-Aulaqi.
Aulaqi made headlines last month when it was revealed that Fort Hood gunman Major Hasan had attempted to contact him. Aulaqi’s family said the cleric was not home at the time of the attack, which the Yemeni government credited to US intelligence.
Which is problematic, according to Aulaqi’s father. The cleric, an American born US citizen, is not charged with any crimes despite speculation of unspecified al-Qaeda ties. If the US government helped Yemen in an assassination attempt against one of its own citizens, this certainly warrants analysis.
Yemen, for its part, claims that all the people killed were “militants,” but the government has made similar claims following attacks on open-air markets and hospitals in the rebel north. Yemeni officials speculate the cleric may be dead.
There is no limit to the vileness of American Foreign Policy. They will kill any innocent people in the name of "Freedom and the American Way Of Life"
America is responsible for more human rights abuses and yet has the gall to preach to China, Burma and Sri Lanka.
You hypocrites – Take the beam from your eyes before seeking to take the splinter out of your brothers eyes.
When the US finally has to account for its misdeeds – there will not be one tear shed.
Shame on you America. And shame on the ones who permit you to carry out these actions.
Remember for evil to triumph it is sufficient that "good"people do nothing.
