Killing of radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, authorised by US - Telegraph: "Al-Awlaki has emerged as a prominent al-Qaeda recruiter and has been tied by US intelligence to the 9/11 hijackers, along with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day, as well as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people in November at Fort Hood, Texas.
American counter terrorism officials say they believe al-Awlaki has become a recruiter for the al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula terrorist network, feeding prospects into plots aimed at the US and at Americans abroad, according to officials."
