The State Department on Saturday put U.S. citizens across the globe on alert for potential retaliation after the killings of U.S. born-cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and another American Al Qaeda propagandist in a U.S. airstrike Friday.
“The death of Awlaki, in the near term, could provide motivation for anti-American attacks worldwide from individuals or groups seeking to retaliate against U.S. citizens or interests because of this action,” the State Department said in the travel alert.
