(CNN) -- The son of U.S.-born militant cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki was among those killed in a trio of drone attacks in southern Yemen on Friday night, a security official said.

The attacks, carried out in the Shabwa district, killed seven suspected militants, the defense ministry said. It would not confirm that Abdul Rahman Anwar Awlaki was among them.

The senior security official in Shabwa, who did not want to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media, said the younger Awlaki had been hiding in the mountains of Shabwa for more than eight months. He had first-hand knowledge of the death, he said.

The Awlaki family did not want to comment.

Can the Al-Awlaki family qualify for bulk rates on virgins yet?

I wonder if the sons of terrorists ever look at their fathers and think, “The sins of the father really are going to be revisited on me.”

Houston we have a problem.Alwacki was a US citizen, executed without trial. And its only a matter of time and circumstance before a drone might visit a neighborhood near you.

After all, the 2010 US pre-census catalogued every citizens residential GPS location within 60 feet, and the statists can access that information WITHOUT ANYONE even knowing it, as would be noticed if say, google earth was used.

Maybe the BATF will allow us to purchase radar guided AA guns as an extended 2nd amendment right? LOL.

Probably waiting on the second apology from the white hut, at least.
