This Fox News investigative special goes deep inside the mysterious and deadly world of American born terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki.
Fox News correspondents Catherine Herridge and Greg Palkot follow Awlaki's twisted and destructive trail from suburban communities in the U.S. to his hideout in Yemen.
Declassified memoranda on Al Awlaki
********************************
Anybody who didn't see this...should.
"In June 2002, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado accepted on its face an affidavit for a criminal complaint submitted by a Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) agent in San Diego alleging a false statement in an application for a passport by Anwar Al-Awlaki.
"The passport application was made on November 18, 1993, at a post office in Fort Collins, Colorado. As the U.S. Attorney's Office reviewed the Awlaki case in preparing for presentation before a grand jury for an indictment, the federal prosecutor assigned to handle the matter determined that additional investigation was required.
"In the original DSS affidavit in support of a criminal complaint, the San Diego DSS agent alleged that on June 6, 1990, Awlaki had lied on an application for a social security number, allegedly falsely listing his place of birth. Awlaki was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, even though on the social security number application he listed his place of birth as Yemen. Awlaki then allegedly used the Social Security number on his application to renew his passport. As a U.S. citizen, Awlaki was entitled to a Social Security number and the renewal of his passport.
"At the time of the original DSS investigation, the statute of limitations regarding the alleged Social Security false statement regarding his place of birth had expired. After the criminal complaint was filed, further investigation was required to ensure that there was sufficient evidence to support a conviction in this case. That investigation, conducted by a Denver DSS agent, and outlined in a DSS report, revealed that, in 1996, Awlaki had contacted the Social Security Administration to request that his place of birth on his social security application be changed from Yemen to New Mexico.
"The Social Security Administration made the requested change long before the criminal investigation started in September 2001. As such, the U.S. Attorney's Office learned during the subsequent investigation that the Social Security Administration would testify only that Awlaki was entitled to a social security number, that the number was valid, and that their records indicated that he corrected his place of birth.
"This fact eliminated the crucial piece of evidence required to obtain a conviction. Based on that fact, the U.S. Attorney's Office met with the original DSS agent from San Diego on October 8, 2002, notifying him that they could not, as matter of law or ethics, seek a grand jury indictment against Awlaki.
"On that same day, October 8, 2002, after that meeting, according to a DSS report, the San Diego DSS agent contacted a DSS clerk in California, requesting that the clerk access the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), a computerized index of criminal justice information, and withdraw the arrest warrant from the system. A motion was later filed and was signed by the Magistrate Judge, dismissing the complaint.
"Dismissing a complaint is fairly common practice, done for a variety of reasons, including in cases where the state files charges in lieu of federal prosecution, or where a witness becomes unavailable, or where new unrelated charges are filed.
"In short, there was no legal basis to bring a passport fraud prosecution in this matter given the evidence uncovered by the Denver DSS agent, and had there been a legal basis for prosecution, it is unlikely that under the sentencing structure put in place in 2001 such a charge would have led to any, let alone significant time in prison.
"Furthermore, the penalties usually associated with passport or immigration fraud — loss of U.S. immigration status — were not available, given the fact that this individual was a U.S. citizen."
Excerpt:
CAIRO (AP) — An American-Yemeni cleric whose Internet sermons are believed to have helped inspire attacks on the U.S. has advocated the killing of American civilians in an al-Qaida video released Sunday.
Anwar al-Awlaki has been singled out by U.S. officials as a key terrorist threat and has been added to the CIA’s list of targets for assassination despite his American citizenship. He is of particular concern because he is one of the few English-speaking radical clerics able to explain to young Muslims in America and other Western countries the philosophy of violent jihad.
The U.S.-born al-Awlaki moved to Yemen in 2004 and is in hiding there after being linked to the suspects in the November shooting at an Army base in Fort Hood, Texas, and the December attempt to blow up a U.S. jetliner bound for Detroit.
“Those who might be killed in a plane are merely a drop of water in a sea,” he said in the video in response to a question about Muslim groups that disapproved of the airliner plot because it targeted civilians.
Al-Awlaki used the 45-minute video to justify civilian deaths — and encourage them — by accusing the United States of intentionally killing a million Muslim civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
American civilians are to blame, he said, because “the American people, in general, are taking part in this and they elected this administration and they are financing the war.”
He added that the Prophet Muhammad also sent forces into battles that claimed civilian lives.
The video was produced by the media arm of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, though the exact nature of al-Awlaki’s ties with the group and possible direct role in it are unclear. The U.S. says he is an active participant in the group, though members of his tribe have denied that.
Thanks for the heads up!
Thank you for heads’ up. Will pass along.

Good stuff...thanks!
Thanks for the head’s up, MestaMachine. Missed it before but will DVR it today.
Excellent and chilling report.
Terrifying .. how very lax our govt
truly is in tracking and putting the
dots together of the evil beasts.
Now, the Obots are just that much more
secretive, compounding the purposeful
negligence and/or blatant incompetence
of the partisans in DOS, FBI, CIA, etc.
Lord, protect and save us.
Did it surprise you at all to see that he was a pedophile or had been arrested for soliciting prostitutes? THIS is islam.
Exactly! The sham of Islam,
which is totally contradictive to
NATURE.

Jihadis make their way to Pakistan training areas
The path to terrorist training in Pakistan is well worn — developed and maintained by established militant groups that have operated for decades. They are open to those — Americans included — with enough determination and savvy to navigate both the extremist networks and the dangerous borderlands.
Hezbollah promotes itself through 'jihadi tourism'
The students clapped and cheered as a Hezbollah fighter perched on a rocket launcher paraded past. Later, they snapped photographs with guerrila fighters, getting a firsthand account of the group's tactics against Israel on the battlefield.
*Every year hundreds of thousands of US citizens go back and forth to countries known to house terror groups and training camps, such as Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen.
*The US system for finding and tracking homegrown terrorists among them depends largely on constantly updated travel records, screening by sharp-eyed border and law enforcement officials, and some intelligence-sharing with foreign governments.
Hizbul Mujahideen - party of holy warriors became party of holey warriors
SRINAGAR: It seems these are the worst of times to be a militant in Kashmir. First, a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist was axed to death by a teenage girl in Rajouri roughly a month ago. Now, a bear has mauled two Hizbul Mujahideen militants to death as they hid in its cave in Shopian, South Kashmir.
I have a question for the bear, did they taste like the other white meat - pork?
Some of those muzzie terrorists are not having a very good time of it...
When things go sideways, there will be chaos killing in the cities. The ones that survive that will be the ones we folk in the country are going to have to deal with. They will be well armed and hard as nails already having survived the killing. Something to think about....
He feels it would be best to go into hiding if possible. There will be more of them than of us. We figured that in our situation, we'd have about 15 ‘trigger men’. These 15 would have to repel thousands of hardened city survivors.
I thought he has some valid points. Any thoughts?
Yes, I have ideas AND plans. Are you in a slightly rural or very rural area? Small town? Neighbors close or far away? Depends on the situation.
The bigger cities are going to rage for quite awhile when it goes down. Those who come looking for us first will be the ones trying to get out of Dodge and will be frightened and desperate...and without weapons to defend themselves and know nothing about survival without their comforts. THAT to me is a bigger problem than defending myself against crazies.
