Yemen: Second American militant killed in strike

Yemen's Defense Ministry says another American militant, Samir Khan, who produced an English-language al-Qaeda Web magazine, died in the US airstrike that killed American-Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

 

The ministry has made the announcement Friday in a mobile phone SMS message. Khan, in his 20s, was an American of Pakistani heritage from North Carolina who produced "Inspire," an English-language Web magazine which spread al-Qaeda ideology and promoted attacks against US targets, even running articles on how to put together explosives.
