American born Anwar Awlaki, preaches hate filled messages online encouraging lone wolf or small cells, which are almost impossible to trace, to attack American targets.
Now believed to be in Yemen, he isnumber one on the CIA's kill and capture list, according to Michael Leiter, head of the National Counterterrorism Center.
Testifying before the Homeland Security Committee at a hearing on Islamic extremism he said: “I actually consider Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula with Al-Awlaki as a leader within that organization probably the most significant risk to the U.S.
“I think Al-Awlaki is probably -- certainly is the most well-known English-speaking ideologue who is speaking directly to folks here in the homeland.”
Awlaki's new home in the Yemen s now considered to pose the most dangerous threat to America, along with Pakistan, where Bin Laden is believed to be hiding, and Somalia.
