Hasan’s imam thought to be dead
The radical Virginia-based imam who is thought to have encouraged Nidal Hasan to shoot scores of his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood is rumored to be among the casualties of a US missile assault in Yemen today, according to Al-Jazeera;
Among those thought to have been killed in the raid early on Thursday was Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim preacher linked by US intelligence to a gunman who killed 13 people at a US army base in Texas.
“Anwar al-Awlaki is suspected to be dead [in the air raid],” an unnamed Yemeni official was quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying.
ABC reports that, before he was killed, al-Awlaki told Al-Jazeera that Hasan’s first email hinted at his planned assault at Fort Hood;
Awlaki claims that Hasan initiated the e-mail correspondence with a message on Dec. 17, 2008. “He was asking about killing U.S. soldiers and officers,” says Awlaki. “His question was is it legitimate [under Islamic law].”
That is completely contrary to the story that US intelligence services have told us. O don’t place much value in reports from Al-Jazeera or from radical clerics, but the FBI needs to release those emails to us. Something about this whole story stinks. The deception has begun right from the first shot in this incident – and This Ain’t Hell has been caught up in the effort to keep the story from the American public.

That is some good news to wake up to.
One down, how many to go? Kill the Mullahs and the Imams and we will have the head of the snake.
“Never Forget Ft. Hood Texas 11/5/09!”
If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would have to wonder about the fact that after the Ft Hood terrorist attack, the US suddenly got permission to launch drone attacks in Yemen, where this radical cleric was living.
Having that cleric room temperature means pursuing Hasan’s communications with him is a moot point.
“The deception has begun right from the first shot in this incident”, would that have been the Feeb’s pathetic statement that the attack was NOT terrorism? While they were still in their black Suburbans on the way out to Ft. Hood.
I agree, they need to release the e-mails, all of them.
Well, damned if there ain’t a Santa Claus after all!
If true (and I hope it is), it couldn’t have happened to a nicer asshole.
Yup… “Have a Holly, Jolly, Christmas! It’s a special time of year!”
I’d like to think that the last thing that went through his mind, as the warhead detonated, was his @sshole.
I wonder how he took it when he didn’t get his 72 goats?
As I am writing this it is officially Christmas and I feel it would be inappropriate to celebrate this ‘persons’ alleged death. Past midnight on Friday however…..
According to the local paper Anawr al-Aulaqi’s father is claiming that his son did nothing wrong. Also that Hasan is getting a trial and his son did not.
