    Well, if he was killed by Yemeni forces, he was sentenced to death in absentia a while ago.

    The reports are that they were killed by a CIA drone.

    The strike also killed a second U.S. citizen — Samir Khan, the co-editor of an al-Qaeda magazine — and two other unidentified al-Qaeda operatives, the Yemeni government said. But tribal leaders in the area said at least seven people were killed. They identified one of the others as al-Qaeda militant named Salem bin Arfaaj.

    Does this mean Lemur won't be able to share any more issues of Inspire with us?
