In his most recent interview with an Al Qaeda media outlet terrorist “Anwar Al Awlaki” the US born Al Qaeda terrorist said that he stopped his communications when he read in the Washington Post that he is being tracked by US intelligence. He said that once he stopped his communications he left the area in Yemen where he was hiding and then this area was bombed by US airstrikes.
He also said that both terrorists “Nidal Hassan” who killed 13 of our troops at Fort Hood and “Omar Farouk Abd Al Moutaleb” who had the failed terrorist attack on the Delta Detroit plane on Christmas Day 2009 were his students and that he is honored and proud that they were his students.
In his interview he called for every muslim serving in the US military to imitate what terrorist “Nidal Hassan” did and kill US soldiers.
He said that he is very proud of his role to incite violence against Americans.
The text of his video interview with “Al Malahem” which the media outlet of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula can be found on this link below which is from “al falojah” terrorist forum. It is in Arabic.

Below is the translation of terrorist Anwar Al Awlaki statement regarding the Washington Post article:
Beginning of the translation
Question from “Malahem” Al Qaeda media: The Americans are saying that after Nidal Hassan attack they tighten the noose around your neck, they closed your website on the internet and now you are being chased, is that true?
Answer from terrorist Al Awlaki: Yes they closed this website after Nidal Hassan attack, I wrote on the website an article approving of what Nidal Hassan did and then after that they closed the website. After that I read an article in the Washington Post that they are monitoring my communications so I was forced to stop these communications and left the area and then after that the American bombardment occurred.
End of the translation
Thank you very much onyx.
Yes! It’s a must see!
I hope it replays again soon.
But the very worst part is that this information was leaked to the msm from someone inside our intelligence community.
It looks like the U.S. is going to have to institute some laws to control the press, I would say. The U.S. will have to make it illegal for the press to disseminate certain information that the government deems is dangerous to its operations with enemies, whether with spies or with wars going on or military operations or government secrets.
I'm afraid that's the only way to deal with it. There must be some laws put into effect, making these kinds of things illegal, and then if it happens, the particular paper gets shut down and the writer goes to jail...
You so-called “journalists” at the WashPest must be proud of yourselves. Go over across the river to Arlington Cemetery and visit real men who sacrificed for this country. Sit there for a while and you just might...might...soak in some character. You WP “journalists” make me sick.
He was featured in a WaPo online chat November 19, 2001 to talk about Ramadan (and how the U.S. was slaughtering civilians in Afghanistan):
Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki: The Taliban repeatedly said: show us the evidence and we will turn over whoever is guilty with the crime. The US should have given them the benefit of the doubt. Also our government could have dealt with the terrorist attacks as a crime against America rather than a war against America. So the guilty would be tried and only them would be punished rather than bombing an already destroyed country. I do not restrict myself to US media. I check out Aljazeerah and European media such as the BBC. I am seeing something that you are not seeing because of the one-sidedness of the US media. I see the carnage of Afghanistan. I see the innocent civilian deaths. That is why my opinion is different.
Keep in mind that I have no sympathy for whoever committed the crimes of Sep 11th. But that doesn't mean that I would approve the killing of my Muslim brothers and sisters in Afghanistan. Even though this is a dissenting view nowadays but as an American I do have the right to have a contrary opinion.
You can congratulate your Muslim friends with "Ramadan Mubarak"
Thank you for the find.
The attack he escaped, as reported by The Post on December 25, 2009:
SNIP
The Yemen Observer, a paper with ties to the government, reported that Aulaqi's house was "raided and demolished" in Thursday's strike.
But in interviews, Aulaqi's distraught relatives said they have had no official word about the cleric. They said they had spoken with relatives and friends in Shabwa province, the site of the assault, and do not believe that he was among those killed.
The cleric's father, a former Yemeni minister of agriculture, Nasser al-Aulaqi, said his son was living in the home of an uncle and, he believed, had left that residence about two months ago. The uncle's house is more than 40 miles from the attack site, the elder Aulaqi said in a rare interview.
"If the American government helped in attacking one of [its own] citizens, this is illegal," the father said, his voice cracking. "Nidal Hasan killed 13 people and he's going to get a trial. My son has killed nobody. He should face trial if he's done something wrong."
"If Obama wants to kill my son, this is wrong," he said, adding that despite his son's ideology, the younger Aulaqi had no links to al-Qaeda.

Hasan had intensified contact with cleric
FBI MONITORED E-MAIL EXCHANGES
Fort Hood suspect raised prospect of financial transfers
By Carrie Johnson, Spencer S. Hsu and Ellen Nakashima
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, November 21, 2009
In the months before the deadly shootings at Fort Hood, Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan intensified his communications with a radical Yemeni American cleric and began to discuss surreptitious financial transfers and other steps that could translate his thoughts into action, according to two sources briefed on a collection of secret e-mails between the two.
The e-mails were obtained by an FBI-led task force in San Diego between late last year and June but were not forwarded to the military, according to government and congressional sources. Some were sent to the FBI's Washington field office, triggering an assessment into whether they raised national security concerns, but those intercepted later were not, the sources said.
Hasan's contacts with extremist imam Anwar al-Aulaqi began as religious queries but took on a more specific and concrete tone before he moved to Texas, where he allegedly unleashed the Nov. 5 attack that killed 13 people and wounded nearly three dozen, said the sources who were briefed on the e-mails, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the case is sensitive and unfolding. One of those sources said the two discussed in "cryptic and coded exchanges" the transfer of money overseas in ways that would not attract law enforcement attention.

Look for the segments .. 1 thru 4 .. posted by BornTwyce2
IT IS A MUST SEE !
I think you are right that this is the article.
Thank you once again for your work. This should be a leading story tomorrow.
I disagree.
What you do is find the leak, drag them into the street, and SHOOT THEM IN THE F'ING HEAD!!!
The FBI obtained the e-mails pursuant to court-ordered wiretaps, according to a former intelligence official. After receiving a wiretap order, Internet providers generally set up accounts that allow cloned copies of e-mails to go to the government agency in real time. Stored e-mails also may be provided with a search warrant.
How the hell someone dared to leak this top confidential information to the Washington Post? Do they think that terrorists do not read, listen, and watch our media.
I think all lib reporters should have drive ahead of the troops to find the IEDs.
We have traitors in our midst.
The Washington Post should be very proud. Oh never mind, they ARE very proud.
No you have to control the leakers. First amendment you know. The Press doesn't have a "right to know" but the leakers are the ones who signed non-disclosure agreements, as condition of access to the information. I've done it, many here have done it.
But we haven't leaked any of it.
