Al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki had twice been in US custody but released

American-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaqi, killed by a US drone in Yemen last year, had been in US custody at least twice but was released.

MI6 alleged to have refused to kill al-Awlaki, Al Qaeda leader

A Danish informant says that the British spy agency MI6 refused to kill Al Qaeda leader al-Awlaki because it was against the law.

Militant leader Tareq al-Dahab -- a brother-in-law of US-born jihadist cleric Anwar al-Awlaqi who was killed in a US drone strike last September, sits in the Amiriyah mosque in the town of Rada, 130 kilometres (85 miles) southeast of the capital Sanaa, on January 18, 2012.
