Awlaki's son among militants killed in Yemen strikes
A SON of the US-born al Qaeda cleric Anwar al Awlaki was among seven suspected jihadist militants killed in a trio of apparent US air strikes in Yemen, a member of his tribe said Saturday.
The heart (urp) bleeds...
"Abderrahman Anwar al Awlaki was killed in the raid," the tribal source said, adding that he received confirmation from the militant-controlled Yemeni hospital where the dead and wounded from Friday evening's strikes were taken.
Like father, like son...
Awlaki himself was killed in a US drone strike on Sept. 30, which US President Barack Obama hailed as a "major blow" to al Qaeda worldwide.

US intelligence officials believe Awlaki was linked to a US army major charged with shooting dead 13 people in Fort Hood, Texas, and to a Nigerian student accused of trying to blow up a US airliner on Dec. 25, 2009.

He was also believed to be the leader of external operations of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
