...average resident of Sana'a, Yemen's ancient capital, can be forgiven for regarding Anwar al-Awlaki as just another warmongering imam with a grudge against the West and a deep hatred for the U.S. In fact, until last fall, most Yemenis had never heard of the American-born cleric living in their midst. Those most familiar with him were a small group of Western counterterrorism officials and experts - and even they thought al-Awlaki was of relatively little consequence. (See Muslims encouraging debate, not hate...
...Awlaki was born in 1971 in Las Cruces, N.M., where his father was studying for a master's degree at New Mexico State University. The family spent nearly a decade on American campuses. Anwar was 7 when they returned to Yemen, where they lived in a newish Sana'a neighborhood...
...Akhlaq was shot dead, along with his 24-year-old daughter, at his Lahore home in 1999 by an unstable roti vendor who also wounded Akhlaq's close friend and student Anwar Saeed, visiting at the time. Saeed's robust, homoerotic work shares his mentor's primordial vision. In swaths of deep blues and thick yellows reminiscent of Chughtai's watercolors, which themselves echo the primal Fauvism of Henri Rousseau, Saeed paints a semiclad man surreally clutching a large fish (The Principle of Delicacy). He also draws two men in romantic embrace, one with the fly of his jeans suggestively...

It was initially hoped that the attacks had disposed of Wahishi, Shehri and radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, the cyber-pen pal of the accused Fort Hood shooter, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, but no evidence has yet demonstrated that to be the case. And more missile strikes could prove politically disastrous in a nation whose citizenry seethes with anti-U.S. sentiment...
...said Prime Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohy A. al-Dhabbi. "No, it's the other way around. They came here. We don't know about them." Indeed, Yemenis point out that the three most infamous al-Qaeda-linked figures from their country came from elsewhere: Abdulmutallab is Nigerian; Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical cleric who may have inspired both Abdulmutallab and accused Fort Hood gunman Major Nidal Malik Hasan, was born in New Mexico and studied at U.S. colleges; and John Walker Lindh, the so-called American Taliban, who grew up in San Francisco, was captured in Afghanistan...
