Catherine Herridge (@C__Herridge) ~ STUNNING:
Looks like USAID supported college tuition for Anwar Aulaqi (Awlaki) who later became a high level al Qaeda terrorist.
Aulaqi falsely claimed he was born in Yemen to secure the financial help via the State Dept. when he was actually a US citizen, born in Las Cruces New Mexico.
Aulaqi would later develop close ties with several 9/11 hijackers and attain leadership status in AQ's Yemen affiliate.
Aulaqi was the godfather of the digital jihad that leveraged his writings and the web to radicalize Americans to AQ's cause.
Aulaqi became the first American targeted for death by the CIA. In 2011, he was killed in a US drone strike.
Good catch @browne_pamela (via @intelwire).

USAID provided “full funding” for future terrorist Anwar Aulaqi to attend college in CO. Big lie - he was born in the U.S. not Yemen. @C__Herridge and I reported on this extensively with my team @FoxNews.

Andrew Follett (@AndrewCFollett) ~ It's darkly funny that we gave him money on the incorrect premise that he was a Yemeni refugee ... and then later, we blew him up in Yemen - and Libs got mad because he was an American citizen!
Paul Hoagland (@PaulHoagland11) ~ So, we pay for his college. Then we pay to drone him. Ain't the U.S. government a model of efficiency?!
MAZE (@mazemoore) ~ Did they pay for the flight lessons before 9/11? Massages for bin Laden?
