Obama: Awlaki’s death blow to Qaeda

President Barack Obama declared al-Awlaki's killing a "major blow" to al-Qaeda's most active affiliate, and vowed a vigorous U.S. campaign to prevent the terror network and its partners from finding safe haven anywhere in the world.         

Obama said al-Awlaki "directed" the Christmas plane bombing attempt as well as a failed attempt to mail explosives to the United States, "and he repeatedly called on individuals in the United States and around the globe to kill innocent men, women and children to advance a murderous agenda."      

U.S. airstrikes in Yemen on Friday killed Anwar al-Awlaki, an American militant cleric who became a prominent figure in the terror network's most dangerous branch, using his fluent English and Internet savvy to draw recruits for attacks in the United States.
