Related Topics World » Aerospace & Defense » Yemen » WASHINGTON | Fri May 6, 2011 10:37pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. drone aircraft attack that killed two midlevel al Qaeda militants in Yemen on Thursday was targeting the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a U.S.-born radical known for encouraging attacks on the United States, U.S. media reported. CBS News and The Wall Street Journal, citing Yemeni and U.S. officials, said on Friday that Anwar al-Awlaki was not hit when a missile was fired at a car in southern Yemen on Thursday, killing two brothers believed to be al Qaeda militants. "We were hoping it was him," a U.S. official told CBS News. The U.S. Defense Department declined to comment on the reports. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, is estimated to number about 300 fighters with strongholds in remote mountain regions in the provinces of Shabwa, Abyan, Jouf and Marib. It is thought to be behind numerous attacks on government targets. The group is said to have inspired attacks by Muslims inside the United States -- including the Fort Hood, Texas, shootings in which an Army psychiatrist is accused of killing 13 people and wounding 32 -- and twice smuggled explosives aboard aircraft headed to the United States. Yemen's Defense Ministry confirmed Thursday's drone attack had killed two al Qaeda militants, identifying them as brothers Musa'id and Abdullah Mubarak al-Daghari. Washington considers the Yemen-based al Qaeda branch the world's most active terror cell. With the killing in Pakistan earlier this week of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, some officials believe Awlaki's group now represents the gravest danger to the United States and other Western nations.

Doesn’t this mean that it is highly probable that banks in Yemen would have held Osama bin Laden’s money and that someone of al-Qaeda had to be a collateral operative to obtain these funds whom Yemen-based al Qaeda leader al-Awlaki in the Arabian Peninsula trusted that bin Laden had setup because of Laden’s son having been a prior prisoner in Afghanistan why would banking be considered in Afghanistan when Yemen would be a better secure location. Nothing in the news either prior to the killing of Osama bin Laden or after was published in any article regarding the money trail or a bank which would have frozen the account of that special individual. Why is this so when the CIA had a house near Osama bin Laden in Pakistan watching his son as a inhabitant following his release from prison. There is something strange about the house which no one yet has defined as a serious matter, everyone concerned about this is not focusing on the most important aspect – what was hidden at the location regarding most secret property, what other property has been in control by Osama bin Laden for six years near this location where more information is stored or other things like special properties & weaponry related. Is Pakistan ever going to get serious about this raid on Osama bin Laden to obtain all the other important regards concerning al-Qaeda or is Pakistan going to hinder a investigation because of their sincere apologies for having been so nieve to let this slip for six years regarding the home of Osama bin Laden near the military academy. Who trained pigeons for the Academy? Where is a horse stable located near where Osama son could go to? Why are the names of those dead not published on with the pictures of their dead bodies being identified as unknown? Isn’t this getting to be a child’s operation in Pakistani hands, eagerly denying knowledge and eagerly denying further support? I think the United Nations needs to go in and accomplish a full disclosure of all the facts that can be obtained from this super secret of Osama bin Laden owning a home in Pakistan, immediately.
