The name of Anwar al-Awlaki has sprung up in another terrorist attack. The Cleric who corresponded with, and encouraged Major Hasan the Fort Hood terrorist, played a similar role with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Burnt-Balls-Bomb-in-Briefs terrorist.
The Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner had his suicide mission personally blessed in Yemen by Anwar al-Awlaki, the same Muslim imam suspected of radicalizing the Fort Hood shooting suspect, a U.S. intelligence source has told The Washington Times.
The intelligence official, who is familiar with the FBI's interrogation of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, said the bombing suspect has boasted of his jihad training during interrogation by the FBI and has said it included final exhortations by Mr. al-Awlaki.
