Feds: FBI tailed top terror recruiter to Pentagon

al-Awlaki32

The federal government has released documents that show Anwar al-Awlaki, the former Denver resident and onetime al-Qaida leader who died in 2011 in a U.S. missile strike in Yemen ordered by Barack Obama, was followed by the FBI to the doors of the Pentagon, where he was an invited guest.

WND reported earlier this year that officials with Judicial Watch, the government watchdog agency that investigates and reports on government corruption, found  FBI authorities knew Awlaki was linked to several 9/11 hijackers weeks before he was invited to lunch at the Pentagon during an “outreach” to Muslims.

At the time, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, “The more we learn about Anwar al-Awlaki, the more questions arise not only about his activities before and after 9/11, but also about the al-Qaida operational and support network still active in the United States. It is now even more concerning that al-Awlaki was invited to the Pentagon after 9/11 and then let go by the FBI despite warrants for his arrest.”
