Anwar al-Awlaki: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

'''Anwar al-Awlaki'''  (born on the 22nd April, 1971 in Las Cruces, New Mexico, died 30th September, 2011 in Yemen) was a radical Muslim preacher who encouraged his followers to attack western targets by facilitating and coordinating several terrorist attacks. According to U.S government officials Awlaki became a senior talent recruiter and leading figure for Al- Qaida’s affiliate in Yemen. Awlaki had been perhaps the most prominent English-speaking advocate of violent jihad against the United States, with his message carried extensively over the Internet. He was an inspiring, clever lecturer who spoke directly to the concerns of young Muslims in the West. He had been described as the 'bin Laden of the Internet.' His online lectures and sermons had been linked to more than a dozen terrorist investigations in the United States, Britain and Canada. Awlaki had been the focus of intense scrutiny since he was linked to Nidal Malik Hasan an army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas November 2009 and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man charged with trying to blow up a Detroit bound airliner on December 25th 2009.
