Anwar al-Awlaki

Terror targets being tracked by the US are getting weapons thanks to connections with the Saudis.

Abdul Razak Artan, who attacked his fellow students at Ohio State University, may have been inspired by the late Al-Qaeda-linked cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, an FBI official said on Wednesday.

The group that claimed responsibility for the Charlie Hebdo attack have gained a foothold in a key Middle East battleground.

Anwar al-Awlaki continues to influence young Islamists, despite being killed in 2011.

Evidence has emerged linked at least one of the attackers to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Penisular, or AQAP.
