Yemen: Terror suspect Anwar al-Awlaki killed. U.S. officials consider him a most-wanted terror suspect, and added his name last year to the kill or capture list - making him a rare American addition to what is effectively a U.S. government hit-list. A statement from Yemen's foreign press office said the al Qaeda suspect "was targeted and killed 8 KM (about 5 miles) from the town of Khashef in the Province of Jawf, 140KM (about 80 miles) east of the Capital Sana'a."
Al Alwaki's death deals a severe blow to Al Qaeda but not a deadly blow. Bin Laden's death was a severe blow but he had become largely sympbolic to the western vedetta movement and not an activre ingredient. Al Alwaki however was the young new face of inspiring action against the west. He was intelligent, computer savvy, and could use the english language like velvet to get disenfranchised youth to pick up the cause. Now there is a widening hole that began right after the death of Bin Laden.
Somalia kills Fazul Abdullah Mohammedz, widening Al Qaeda power vacuum: Somali forces confirmed that they have killed Al Qaeda’s most senior operative in East Africa: Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, who planned the 1998 US embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanazania. The announcement comes as a blow to the terrorist organization, which has lost three of its top leaders in recent weeks, including Osama bin Laden.
Al Shabab confirmed his death on condition of anonymity and good for us I also read that they found $40,000 and a number of cell phones on his body. Very good more trails to follow!
The Death of Bin Laden Does Not Mean Demise of Al Qaeda They say his death is symbolic and it is but for us not Al Qaeda, the Taliban, or any of the other extremists looking for a reason to fight the west. That said, it will hit them psychologically.
The US is celebrating, this is frigging great! Justice is done however because of the extremists with nothing better to do than to fight the west and feed and continue UBL's personal vendetta violence has more than the potential of increasing in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and around the world.!
Rebels looking for a reason to fight now have another but since UBL betrayed Islam for his personnel fight against the west killing his own people I believe justice has been served with this major source of evil being killed along with all his vendetta followers and Muslims around the world will be breathing a sigh of relief.
That said Just hold on because increased violence in his name will ensue. Right after Osama Bin Laden's killing as a result of all the Intel found as his hard drives and 12 thumb drives laden with information the US right away want after Anwar Al- Awlakiz with a drone attack in Yemen but missed him. Now he is dead. We got him He had turned into the inspiration for attaacks against the west.Isee this as a death blow to Al Qaeda but a breathe of fresh air to the disenfranchised looking to find a cause to die for.
In quick succession we got UBL, Top killer Kashmiri was killed by a US drone Great! He was wanted by India, Pakistan, and the US and had $5 million on his head. He fell out of favor with the ISI. Hmm?
Also Somali forces confirmed that they have killed Al Qaeda’s most senior operative in East Africa: Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, who planned the 1998 US embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanazania. The announcement comes as a blow to the terrorist organization, which has lost three of its top leaders in recent weeks, including Osama bin Laden.
Every time we kill one of Al Qaeda's or the Taliban's top leaders of course we are greeted with threats of retribution. You know what they say about payback. Pay back is a mother f&%ker. We are in a race now more than ever. As you know, this vendetta against the west called terrorism is the head of the hydra. Kill one and many more take their place.
Now we have to kill two more top leaders, American Adam Ghadan a theorist and Ayman Al Zawahiri appointed as the new leader after UBL's death. Al- Awlaki was computer savvy and the prime motivator for attacks on the west. This is an important development but someone else will step up. We must be more observant than ever even on the internet as there are more out there that are computer savvy.
We have to continue to kill them quicker than they can recover but when it is all said and done you may not have one central leader but now hundreds of thousands or millions of disenfranchised extremists operating on their own. Maybe they are not able to pull off the big fabulous hits but they can the small ones and disrupt and terrorize our daily lives. That is why it is called terrorism! Remain vigilant.

We're walking a very slippery slope legally here Jim. When the U.S. assassinates a U.S. citizen in a foreign country what's to prevent a president from issuing orders to do it on our own home soil? This is slowly becoming a mob mentality. And the killing will continue on both sides until something changes. I'm reminded of Ireland where the killings went on for years until those sent out to kill started killing their own due to mistrust. That is when it stopped.
You know Demeur, what you said about Ireland could very well happen here but due to the nature of the extremist beast I don't think it will. I do believe we are walking a slippery slope but the prick sanctioned killing innocent Americans so he loses all rights.
You know, it often it not the powers wielded but the person wielding those powers. That is what made me nervous about the Patriot Act.
