Slain U.S. Drone Victim Was 16 
-------------------------------



In other Yemen news, it's been confirmed a U.S. citizen killed in a U.S.
drone attack last week had just turned 16 years old at the time of his
death. The teenager, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, was the son of Anwar
al-Awlaki, the U.S.-born cleric assassinated in a separate drone strike
last month. Initial news accounts reported Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was 21
years old, but his family had maintained he was 16. On Tuesday,
Abdulrahman al-Awlaki's birth certificate was released, showing he
turned 16 last month.
