Awlaki
First of all, lay of the personal attacks or you will be blocked. Secondly, there are several references describing Anwar Awlaki as a regional commander in the Arabian Gulf i.e. [1] Pass a Method talk 20:18, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
- Not sure who the above is addressed to, but no such reference is given, and all such references I have seen elsewhere, including the NYT article you cite, are simple assertions by interested parties. President Obama ordered the killing of al-Awlaki - his assertion that Awlaki was a leader of Al-Qaeda is no more conclusive than any other killer's assertion of justification. If Obama had published evidence it would be a different matter. As it stands it seems likely that al-Awlaki was an inconvenience to the US government because of the influence of his preaching, and the notion that he was an active leader of Al-Qaeda was invented as an excuse for his assassination. If there is any concrete evidence available to show that al-Awlaki had a role in the leadership of Al-Qaeda, perhaps you should quote it rather than allege its existence and revert a valid edit without justifying your action.125.92.222.222 (talk) 05:44, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

It might be useful to point out that Al Quaeda refers to a specific guest-house in Pakistan where people who shared the self-appointed work (or Jihad) of liberation assembled on their way to engage the invaders in Afghanistan. The original Al Quaeda seems to have been a tiny store-front for the Mujahidin Service Bureau in a Bazaar in Peshawar. With the exception of Fawlty Towers it has come to be the most talked-about guest-house of our time. Cite error: A <ref>

unsubstantiated al-Qaeda connections
The 2002 Bali bombings, the 2004 Madrid train bombings and the 7 July 2005 London bombings are listed in this template as part of the al-Qaeda timeline, although from these articles there doesn't appear to be any connection between these incidents and al-Qaeda. I propose to remove these from the template (and the template from these articles) unless more information substantiating the connection is provided in these articles.--67.250.35.250 (talk) 15:07, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
