Anwar Al-Awlaki - FOIA Request
May 18, 2012
On October 19, 2011, the ACLU submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking information about the targeted killings of three U.S. citizens in Yemen: Anwar al-Awlaki; his 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki; and Samir Khan.
The request seeks disclosure of the legal memorandum written by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel that provided justifications for the targeted killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, as well as records describing the factual basis for the killings of all three Americans.
