Al-Awlaki’s son among 24 killed in US strikes

2011/10/16 01:02, Sanaa

An American drone strike in southern Yemen has killed seven al-Qaeda-linked militants, including the media chief for the group’s Yemeni branch and the son of a prominent US-born cleric slain in a similar attack last month, government officials and tribal elders said Saturday.

Reuters, quoting local officials, reported Saturday that the death toll from the airstrikes had risen to 24.

The airstrikes late Friday in the southeastern province of Shabwa points to Washington’s growing use of drones to target al-Qaeda militants in Yemen. The missile attacks appear to be part of a determined effort to stamp out the threat from the group, known as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which US officials have said is the terror network’s most active and most dangerous branch.

The Yemeni Defence Ministry identified the slain media chief as Egyptian-born Ibrahim al-Bana. Tribal elders in the area also said the dead included Abdul-Rahman al-Awlaki, the 21-year-old son of Anwar al-Awlaki, a gifted Muslim preacher and savvy Internet operator who became a powerful al-Qaeda recruiting tool in the West. He, along with another propagandist, Pakistani-American Samir Khan, were killed in a September 30 US drone attack.

The tribal elders said four other members of the al-Awlaki clan also were killed in the drone attack. There was no immediate confirmation of the younger al-Awlaki’s death from Yemeni authorities.
