An 8-year-old American girl was killed during the SEAL Team 6 raid in Yemen
An 8-year-old American girl was killed during the SEAL Team 6 raid in Yemen

The 8-year-old daughter of American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki was among roughly 30 civilians who died during a raid carried out by US commandos Sunday in Yemen. About 14 al Qaeda militants were killed during the operation, according to the Pentagon.
Nawar Anwar al-Awlaki, known as Nora, was shot in the neck during the raid carried out by the Navy's SEAL Team 6 against an al Qaeda camp, according to NBC News.
"She was hit with a bullet in her neck and suffered for two hours," her grandfather Nasser al-Awlaki told Reuters. "Why kill children? This is the new administration. It's very sad, a big crime."
SEAL Chief Petty Officer William "Ryan" Owens was also killed during the hour-long gun battle, and three other American commandos were injured. An MV-22 helicopter that crash-landed had to be destroyed before the SEALs left.
"Almost everything went wrong," a senior US military official told NBC News of the operation, which was the first clandestine strike approved by President Donald Trump.
Born in New Mexico, the elder Awlaki spoke at the Capitol and the Pentagon after the 9/11 attacks, but eventually left the United States in 2002. The process of his radicalization accelerated after being imprisoned in Yemen — with US encouragement — and he went on to become a top recruiter and mentor to a number of al Qaeda operatives, including Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Malik Hasan and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to bring down an American airliner with explosives hidden in his underwear.
He was killed in a CIA Predator drone strike in 2011, the first time an American citizen was killed in such a way. Another US citizen, Samir Khan, who published the al Qaeda magazine Inspire, was also killed in the strike.
Roughly two weeks later, a US drone strike killed Awlaki's 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman. US officials denied he was their target.
Despite his death in 2011, Anwar al-Awlaki's fiery online video sermons have continued to inspire militants in the years since.
The death of 8-year-old Nawar will likely be used in militant propaganda efforts, especially since she is the second of Awlaki's children killed by the US. It was not immediately clear where she was born, but having an American father would have given her automatic dual citizenship for the US and the country of her birth.
"The perception will be that it's not enough to kill al-Awlaki," Karen Greenberg, director of Fordham University's Center on National Security, told NBC.
"That the US had to kill the entire family."
According to Middle East Monitor, the US is already being blamed on social media for "assassinating children."

This girl is not an American girl.
STOP THE PROPAGANDA.
This is why the travel ban that included Yemen went into effect the day before the attack with no notice.
Also, no one should be surprised or shocked over this. Trump made it very clear for months during the campaign that he wouldn't allow "families" of terrorists to stop his mission to wipe Radical Islamic Terrorism off the face of the earth. He's keeping his promise.Last edited by Judy; 02-01-2017 at 12:19 AM.
