The masjid (mosque) al-Ribat al-Islami at 7173 Saranac Street in San Diego where radical Yemeni-American al-Qaeda imam Anwar al-Awlaki once preached before 9\/11. Awlaki reportedly met with then future 9\/11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdar who crashed American Airlines flight 77 into the Pentagon at al-Ribat al-Islami. Awlaki was reported to have been killed on the morning of September 30 2011 by the Yemeni Ministry of Defence in as yet unclear circumstances in either Jawf Governorate or Marib Governorate. \u00a92011 Derek Henry Flood<\/p><\/div>\n

Thira-<\/strong> Since supposedly Awlaki is finally really dead if we’re to believe the Yemeni Defence Ministry, I decided to put up some images of al-Ribat al-Islami, the mosque where he preached before 9\/11 in my old hometown of San Diego, ‘America’s Finest City.’ No doubt Glenn Greenwald is having a fit if it turns out Awlaki was zapped by a drone but honestly, will anyone miss the guy? Of course it would have been much better– in terms of the historical record anyway– if he…and ObL..had been captured alive and brought to trial. Another Obama victory that is also a failure if one believes that assassinating one’s own citizens is a grievous violation of the American constitution. With each drone hit, so much knowledge is lost. But what can we do when the Agency is running the whole paramilitary show in the shadows?<\/p>\n
