Synopsis:
The US may have assassinated Awlaki, but as this report indicates,
though clear a mouthpiece for extremists he wasn't necessarily a violent
man until he was tortured by the Yemenis at the behest of the
Americans.
"We've turned him into a perverse kind of hero". Anwar
al Awlaki allegedly recruited Al Qaeda members from all over the West.
After his arrival and torture in Yemen, Awlaki used his English-speaking
prowess to attract recruits from around the world to Yemen's terror
camps. An Arab spy who has visited several of them tells how he had seen
many Australians and Europeans there. As an American citizen, Awlaki
was seen as particularly dangerous for the West. "People who don't fit
profiles, who can breeze through airports, are a very potent weapon".
