Did The Mentor Of The Fort Hood Assassin Get Vaporized In Yemeni Airstrike?

You know how you read something and you instantly hope that it is true? Well, this report at The Investigative Project on Terrorism is one of those occasions. I'm sure you all remember the American-born islamic cleric who apparently served as the inspiration and mentor to the Fort Hood assassin, Nidal Malik Hasan. Well, that cleric, Anwar Al-Awlaki, is suspected to be one of the dead in the recent air strike that hit Yemen and killed nearly 30 al Qaeda and related targets.

Let's all keep our fingers crossed that this IS confirmed and the world is rid of one more islamic terrorist and we as Americans can rejoice that one of our own, one of our very own disgraces is busy walking the halls of Hell finding out it was all a lie.

Awlaki Reportedly Dies in Yemen Air Strike

An American-born cleric considered an inspiration to Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan may be among 30 militants killed Thursday in an air strike by Yemeni forces.
Officials believe that Anwar Al-Awlaki is among the dead in what news reports indicate was a strike targeting a meeting of Al Qaeda leaders in Yemen.
Also believed to be among the casualties are two leaders of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. None of the identities has been confirmed.
Awlaki was the subject of repeated investigations when he lived in America and preached at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Va. He is believed to have known two of the 9/11 hijackers. Since leaving the U.S. around 2002, Awlaki's preaching turned even more radical. He argued that the U.S. was leading "a war against Islam," a message that seemed to resonate with Hasan, an Army psychologist.
Hasan reportedly communicated with Awlaki in at least 18 emails last year. Awlaki claimed one email came in a year ago "asking for an edict regarding the [possibility] of a Muslim soldier [killing] colleagues who serve with him in the American army." The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has a must-read translation of an interview with Awlaki about his communication with Hasan.
Hasan's shooting rampage Nov. 5 left 13 people dead and 30 more wounded at Fort Hood. Hasan is reportedly paralyzed after being shot himself, faces a military trial for the killings.
