Ladies and gentlemen,
Information is flowing fast on the al Awlaki story. As you comment, if your comment adds new information, please add the link where you found it. This will keep us from posting articles that merely duplicate what is already known, and will help those searching the archives in the future.
As always, remember the 48 Hour Rule...although it's sounding awfully good: initial text message to journalists from the Yemeni government, confirmation from the American one and a brief statement from President Obama, confirmation again from tribals. Apparently a team has gone out to get DNA from the bodies for final confirmation.
Thank you for making Rantburg the go-to place for this kind of thing.
