#2 An amazing bit of coincidence:

The New York Times suggested later that al-Awlaki had claimed birth in Yemen (his family's place of origin) to qualify for scholarship money granted to foreign citizens.[61] US Congressman Frank R. Wolf (R-VA) wrote in May 2010 that it was his understanding that by doing so, al-Awlaki fraudulently obtained more than $20,000 in scholarship funds reserved for foreign students, for which he was not legally eligible.

#3 Was he droned zapped because he was deep into the terrorism or because he was a because of what he knew? Or both? FBI Agent Wade Ammerman probably has some info on why the warrant for Al-Awlaki's for passport fraud was ordered lifted by Ammerman on the morning of 10-2-2002.
