Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki was a 16-year-old United States citizen who was killed while eating dinner at an outdoor restaurant in Yemen by a drone airstrike ordered by U.S. President Barack Obama on October 14, 2011.
Abdulrahman al-Awlaki's father, Anwar al-Awlaki, was alleged to be an operational leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Anwar was killed by a CIA drone strike[7] also ordered by Obama two weeks prior to the killing of his son.
Human rights groups questioned why al-Awlaki was killed by the U.S. in a country with which the United States was not at war.
