Awlaki was killed by a drone strike on September the 30th 2011 in Yemen, just months after the death of Osama bin Laden. The strike was carried out by the Joint Special Operations Command, under the direction of the CIA. President Obama said “The death of Awlaki is a major blow to Al-Qaeda's most active operational affiliate. [The strike] is further proof that Al-Qaeda and its affiliates will find no safe haven anywhere in the world.” | Awlaki was killed by a drone strike on September the 30th 2011 in Yemen, just months after the death of Osama bin Laden.

Abdulrahman al-Awlaki | |||
Anwar Al-Awlaki and Egyptian-born Gihan Mohsen Baker had an American son, Abdulrahman Anwar Al-Aulaqi, born on September 13, 1995, in Denver. Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was killed in an American drone strike on Friday, October 14, 2011, in Yemen, along with alleged al-Qaeda members. Among the dead was a 17 year old cousin of Abdulrahman, family members have said that he was on his way to a barbeque. Five Facebook pages have been set up to condemn the killing as a human rights violation. | |||
After the deaths of Nasser al-Awlaki's son and grandson, Nasser trascripted a 6 minute audio message to condemn the US for the killings. In the audio he described Obama: | |||
"I urge the American people to bring the killers to justice. I urge them to expose the hypocrisy of the 2009 Nobel Prize laureate. To some, he may be that. To me and my family, he is nothing more than a child killer." | |||
He claimed his son was far from any battlefield. After the audio, Nasser al-Awlaki began to deny he was endorsing violence after some media outlets interpreted his audio in that way. | |||
