The son of the recently assassinated US citizen Anwar al Awlaki was among nine suspected jihadist militants killed by apparent US air strikes in Yemen.
Abderrahman Anwar al Awlaki was killed and taken with the others to the militant-controlled Yemeni hospital where the dead and wounded from the strikes were taken. The strikes hit a mosque in Shabwa province east of the main southern city of Aden and were likely launched from the Obama administration’s new base constructed specifically for such purposes.
The Yemeni defense ministry confirmed the deaths, but insisted that Friday evening’s strikes were carried out by its own forces, a predictable line given the Yemeni regime’s client state status and President Saleh’s previous promises to lie by claiming responsibility for US air strikes.
The murder of Awlaki ran into controversy because it wasn’t clearwhether he had committed a crime, since the US government refused to give any evidence or bring him to trial. It is even less clear whether the murder of his son – only 21 years old and previously unnamed as a suspect in anything – was a legitimate target.
They blew up a mosque?Wow,are the monsters really that evil?I guess so,huh?
Come home America,and if Ron Paul does not reach the White House there might be insurrection against our current wackos.
Oh,that's right,it's already here.
And this war is for what? Or the new one in Uganda? Oh yes, and in Libya things have just STARTED to heat up, as the populace is left at the mercy of victorious killers. Lost track of wars, their numbers or purposes. And exactly how does the victory look like in any of them. This looks more and more like those endless imperial missions from Star Wars, with robotic humans exectuting orders.
Gotta kill anyone attached to Awlaki so his wife should expect to get "droned" if she's anywhere in the vicinity. Can't leave any witnesses, eh? But it raises questions in my mind. Was the son a citizen as well? Then it would appear Obama is out to kill family as well. Wonder what sort of "support" role this kid had that justified getting blown to bits. Are legal scholars going to be somehow "troubled" once more by this or will they finally act to get Obama impeached. Now we have three American citizens murdered by his Holiness.
dont forget the kitchen sink and the cat.
