U.S. officials have given Anwar al-Aulaqi a newly elevated designation on the day of his death by drone strike, describing him as “chief of external operations” for al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen.

The new title, cited by officials at the White House and the CIA, reflects Aulaqi’s evolution from Muslim cleric to alleged terrorist plotter, as well as a desire by American officials to persuade the public that the extraordinary killing of a U.S. citizen overseas was warranted.

U.S. officials also disclosed what they said were new details about Aulaqi’s operational role, saying that he personally had instructed a would-be suicide bomber who boarded a Detroit-bound plane in 2009 to detonate his device over American airspace to maximize casualties.

  1. I think he was responsible for the Titanic also.
    Of course, since the CIA had to raise him from the dead, in order to kill him again, the “terrorists” can now claim that he is the second coming, risen from the dead again.

  2. Maybe it’s time to popularize the idea of letters of marque.

  3. Fingerprints, dental records, blood group etc always worked in the past, but nowadays we are talking about total obliteration, ie no evidence…
