Secret memo made case for Awlaki killing
A secret legal memorandum paved the way for the killing of the American-born preacher Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen late last month, according to US media reports.
The New York Times reported on Sunday that the memo, written last year, found that Awlaki's killing would be lawful only if it were not feasible to take him alive.
The memorandum followed months of extensive interagency deliberations and offers a glimpse into the legal debate that led to US President Barack Obama's decision to kill Awlaki, a US citizen, without a trial, the paper added.
