Anwar al-Awlaki, the Al-Qaeda leader who supposedly masterminded last month’s plane bomb plot is the latest terrorist boogie man to have risen from the grave to exact his revenge.
As reported by the London Guardian, Awlaki is considered the “prime suspect” in the cargo plane bomb plot. He was also fingered as the mastermind by BBC News, and the London Telegraph amongst others.
The man who allegedly made the ink toner cartridges that were later claimed to be deadly explosive devices, halted just minutes before reaping carnage, was Saudi Arabian-born Ibrahim Hassan Al Asiri. Al Asiri is “in regular contact in Yemen with radical cleric Anwar Awlaki,” reported the Daily Mail.
Within 48 hours, it was announced by the US intelligence backed SITE organisation that Awlaki had appeared in a new video posted on a “jihadist website,” in which he encouraged further attacks.
Like many supposed terrorist leaders before him however, Awlaki has previously been reported killed.
On December 24, 2009 several news outlets reported that Awlaki was believed to have been killed in a joint U.S-Yemeni pre-dawn air strike by Yemeni Air Force fighter jets on a meeting of 30 or so senior al-Qaeda leaders at a hideout in Rafd, a remote mountain valley in eastern Shabwa.
The Reuters news agency spoke to an unnamed Yemeni official at the time who said: “Anwar al Awlaki is suspected to be dead (in the air raid).”
Awlaki’s death was also reported by Fox News and Al Jazeera.
