US-Born Cleric Added to CIA Kill List
Anwar al-Awlaki, the U.S.-born Muslim cleric, who may be in Yemen, has been added to the CIA’s target list — meaning agents are authorized to kill or capture him — after U.S. intelligence officials concluded that he has taken an operational role in terrorist attacks. The 38-year-old cleric, who was born in New Mexico, is believed to be the first U.S. citizen added to the list since 2001.
