awlaki had strong tribal support. he was teaching at suenai university, he was teaching this english class. the guy that was with him who was killed went to yemen to take these english classes. we knew they were really radicalization courses. they were recruitment and training. and we told saleh that and wanted him to go after al awlaki but he never did. he was reluctant i think because of al awlaki's strong tribal ties. >> there was also an attempt on his life with the drone track earlier this summer that failed. the u.s. reportedly has i think at least three drone bases in the region. how important have these bases been? >> they've been incredibly important. and we've seen increasing use of them, you know, of course, in the federally administrated tribal areas of pakistan. now, this more widespread use and i think, you know, frankly, our allies prefer the use of drones than they do to having u.s. troops on the ground. >> do we know how this guy got radicalized? i mean was he -- he was born in the united states. do w

had actually been tracking awlaki for months, unbeknownst to awlaki the u.s. knew exactly where he was hiding. >> never underestimate the power of fear. >> reporter: anwar awlaki had been considered especially dangerous because he was, in fact, american. and therefore, knew of the targets in the u.s. that could be vulnerable to attacks. today, in a highly targeted attack, he finally met his end. the u.s. had been zeroing in on anwar al awlaki's location for months. u.s. military officials determined awlaki was hiding out in a compound deep in the back country of yemen. what awlaki could never know was high overhead, american surveillance aircraft and satellites were watching that compound 24 hours a day, while armed drones flew nearby. all they needed was awlaki to step out into the daylight. they waited and waited. until this morning. awlaki, one of the most wanted terrorists in the world, walked out and climbed into a pickup truck. a huge break. as he began to drive, more than 7,000 miles away, likely at cia headquarters in langley, virginia, operators using

also, al awlaki's group has been on the run recently. for example, they were supposed to do an inspire magazine edition for the 9/11 anniversary. that was late more than 16 days. that gives you an idea about the way samir khan, and al awlaki has been living recently. >> thank you for having me. >>> another fascinating day of testimony in the michael jackson manslaughter trial. the paramedic who responded to the 911 call said it was too late by the time he arrived. >>> the latest in the amanda knox murder appeal. she could be days away from freedom. ford fusion has now been named the most dependable midsize car by jd power and associates. we go to kimberly. any thoughts on this news? i have no idea what's goin on. we are out. what was that? they told me it's the most dependable midsize sedan and they ran back into their little box. >>> still ahead tonight, a paramedic delivering damning testimony in the trial of conrad murray. why his story just did not add up. >>> an attorney for amanda knox today blasted prosecutors, saying they decided

april 21, 1971, anwar al-awlaki the first u.s. citizen on the capture or kill list was born here and so begin his american journey through radical ios lamb and the arabian peninsula. as you will see new information that alaki was a overlooked key player in the attacks of 9/11. his parents were from yemen were studying at new mexico state university. after graduating in 1972, his father conned their studies bringing his wife and young son first to the university of nebraska and then to minneapolis police before returning to yemen in 1978. >>> and where the i district i have kosli is chewed by hours. one says it all. >> boar poor and try of corrupt failing state. long time veteran has said his job is like dance ought heads of snake. yemen is the home of al-qaeda founder osama bin laden. >> they fought against the mujahedin against soviet on union in 1980s. and it's welcome back to yemen. the bombing of u.s.s. cole killed 17 crew members and was a sign of the anti-u.s. threat of a yemen based al-qaeda. earlier last year, tlistsd join

so it was awlaki that was speaking to americans and awlaki that was speaking to brits, for example. and that's why he was different. and it is that sort of personal story that gave him power and the ability to bring people into the movement. because there were things that he lacked. he lacked for example, battlefield experience. he was not a commander. he didn't have the historical experience in afghanistan and the personal trust with the very senior central al qaeda figures. so he was not a bin laden level figure but he was somebody that was able to communicate with western muslims in a very unique sort of way. >> suarez: but while bin laden was holed up in abbott a bad, he was becoming more active n a way more dangerous than osama bin laden. >> in some ways. i still think bin laden served a key role as the central figure, the central strategist for al qaeda and the broader network. but more and more you heard american officials talking about the danger rising from yemen, this affiliate in yemen, in particular anwar awlaki's role in it. i think brian is right, i think his main attr

2004, anwar al- awlaki moved to yemen. his group sent bombs described in printer ink cartridges. they were intercepted at airports. the controversial u.s. presidential order had been signed to kill or capture anwar al-awlaki. us drones have been targeting him for months. many have expressed regret that he was not brought to trial. >> there are legal precedents and a very important ones. you are targeting people and charging the will of not yet committed a crime. >> al qaeda and ems will live on. it has lost its chief recruiter, but its leader and its bomb makers are still at large. >> there have been some criticism of the killing of anwar al-awlaki by human rights campaigns. legal counsel to homeland security and explained the legal basis for his assassination. >> the obama administration has not been clear about its legal basis, but there are quite a few justifications under the law for the action that was taken today. first of all, the united states is at war without qaeda. as a result of the joint resolution of congress

recruiting center was a follower of awlaki. you noticed a lot of allegedlies and reportedlies and believe to have been in that very long list. it sounds bad to have him associated with all of these things. but in terms of whether or not anwar al awlaki was directly responsible for any of those plots, there are a lot of allegations but none of those allegations was ever made in court. ma yemeni prosecutors charged awlaki in november with incitiig violence, sending internet messages to a 19-year-old in yemen, urging him to kill foreigners. aside from that, being try in absentia in yemen, u.s. officials never attempted to open up an indictment against him. the way they justified this killing is they put him on an assassination list. an assassination list that the president signed off on. that was the due process. again, yemen's official news agency says the u.s. drone strike that killed anwar al awlaki also killed khan which means the united states killed not only one american citizen today, but two. there are two big consequences

what awlaki could never know was high overhead. american surveillance aircraft and satellites were watching that compound 24 hours a day while armed drones flew nearby. all they needed was awlaki to step out into the daylight. they waited and waited. until this morning, awlaki, one of the most wanted terrorists in the world, walked out and climbed into a pickup truck. a huge break. as he began to drive, with two other vehicles, thousands of miles away, likely at cia headquarters in langley, virginia, action. operators using remote controls race the drones into position. within moments, the drones lock in on the vehicle as it sped along a roadway below. a special joint operations plane beaming back real time tracking. fighter jets in the skies as well. and at 9:55 a.m., the drones fire more than three hellfire missiles, hitting the vehicle carrying awlaki which erupts in flames. his was the only vehicle hit. another huge victory in the war on terror. >> the death of awlaki marks another significant milestone in the broader effort to

al-awlaki is number eight. >> schieffer: all right, david martin. because al-awlaki is a u.s. citizen, some civil rights groups and republican presidential candidate ron paul question the government's right to track him down and kill him without a trial. let's go now to bob orr, who will tell us what who al-awlaki was and what the government thought he did. bob? >> reporter: well, bob, in many ways we could say that anwar al- awlaki presented the greatest terror threat to the u.s., and that's why the charismatic american-born radical was right at the top of the government's hit list. in openly calling for death to americans last fall, anwar al- awlaki finally dropped all pretense of being just a preacher. the islamic cleric, born in new mexico, claimed his role as a top terrorist inside al qaeda's most dangerous franchise-- al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. u.s. officials say over the past two years, al-awlaki was at the core of three attacks against america. his emails helped to inspire accused fort hood gunman major nidal hasan. al-awlaki helped plot the failed underwear bo

>> al-awlaki was really a unique figure. not just because he was an american, although that was certainly part of it. he was very eloquent and skilled at speaking to westerners, but really his uniqueness comes from the fact that he had a life before jihad. he was really a very popular main stream muslim preacher before he openly embraced terrorism. and he came into this world with a history and a life and a body of work that isn't all about terrorism. there is really no one else in the movement like that. osama bin laden and zawarir, for their entire adult lives have been jihaddists of one sort or another. so al-awlaki, in terms of his potential to really radicalize people who are vulnerable in the main stream community, had something unique to offer and there is really no one who is currently in the wings who can replace that. >> heather: what about the terrorist publication, inspire? do you think the death of al-awlaki and kahn also mean the end of that, inspire? >> it's possible. but there was a third editor of inspire, w

does awlaki's death wipe out al-qaeda's reach in the u.s.? we'll bring in waleid phares, it's great to gain your insights on this topic, now that awlaki is dead along with top lieutenants, what does it mean for the united states as far as al-qaeda's reach into the united states to inspire and reach out and recruit lone wolfs or operators here in america? >> well, first of all, awlaki was indeed a very important maker of american jihadist, they be organized themselves or home grown jihadists or lone wolves, he was made by the ideology and the ideology is still around. second, more or less a decade he has been working on creating the next wave of awlakis in the united states. lets assume, that this is a tactical, but it won't have a strategic implications unless it begins with the war of ideas. >> what do we have to do. one thing to have a tactical advantage and be able to take out people like awlaki, as you stated there are more out this who can fill the shoes of those who have been liquidated thus far. >> well, the evidence is very simple. he

al-awlaki is dead. >>> >> reporter: al-awlaki had alleged ties to the christmas day underwear bomber -- bomber and he exchanged more than 20 e- mails with the ft. hood shooter. also killed today, 25-year-old samir kahn of charlotte, north carolina, al-awlaki's web master and publisher of an online al-qaeda magazine showing recruits how to make bombs. >> this has been a bad year for terrorists. >> reporter: on the steps of the pentagon defense secretary leon pa net a thanked yemen's government and intelligence -- panetta thanked yemen's government and intelligence service. >> the yemen government has cooperated with the u.s. states going back frankly before some of the turmoil that we've seen there, the relationship in sharing intelligence. >> reporter: the yemen president arrived back in his country from saudi arabia this weekend after narrowly escaping a terror attack that nearly killed him. al-awlaki had nearly been killed several times before, warplanes narrowly missing him in december, 2009 and in may five days after bin laden was killed u.s. special operation forces and the cia
