2. Dismantling Al Qaeda one member at a time

There is no where to hide. They could of course disband and go back to life before Bin Laden, but the choice to stay has clear consequences.

5. Yea we shoulda waited till he was 18. He hadn't lived life enough to understand he was a member

of a terrorist organization that's killed thousands of people. If only he was older......

7. waited til he was 18? a member of al Qaeda?

you seem to be under the impression that we deliberately targeted the boy, and you are ok with that.

Presumably this was an accident, don't you think? That we were targeting an adult against whom some case was made to incinerate him, and that the teenager unfortunately was there too.

You don't really think that we targeted a 16-year old American boy for death, and you're not really ok with that are you?

Official: Drone attack kills Al-Awlaki's son in Yemen

(CNN) -- The son of U.S.-born militant cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki was among those killed in a trio of drone attacks in southern Yemen on Friday night, a security official said.

The attacks, carried out in the Shabwa district, killed seven suspected militants, the defense ministry said. It would not confirm that Abdul Rahman Anwar Awlaki was among them.

The senior security official in Shabwa, who did not want to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media, said the younger Awlaki had been hiding in the mountains of Shabwa for more than eight months. He had first-hand knowledge of the death, he said.

The Awlaki family did not want to comment.
