Despised and dangerous Al-Qaeda internet guru and terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki, referred to in some circles as the "New Bin Laden" is now the "New Dead Bin Laden". The turn coat Yemeni-American preacher had emerged in recent years as a recruiter for Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula was taken out/killed around 10:00 AM local time in Yemen this morning, and the news is all over the media. Anwar al-Awlaki is just another example of Al-Qaeda leaders dropping like flies...wonder who the new number two is going to be.
Though details are sketchy, as news comes out, look for major involvement by our own Special Forces, with the Navy Seals taking the lead. Job well done! The perfect shot on the convoy, the quick identification are American Special Forces calling cards, so though Yemen is claiming partial credit, we know who got the job done.
