Jeremy Scahill: Inside the US Dirty War in Yemen

Why is the US targeting and killing US citizens in drone strikes?

Press Room

June 7, 2013

In May, the United States confirmed that it has killed a total of four US citizens in drone strikes overseas. In his new book, Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield, Nation national security correspondent Jeremy Scahill explores one of the most unjust of these deaths, that of 16-year-old Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki, killed by a drone in Yemen.

In this Democracy Now! exclusive, Scahill joins Nasser al-Awlaki, the father of Anwar al-Awlaki and the grandfather of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, to discuss the lack of justice that he has seen for the US government’s killing his son in a targeted assasination and his grandson in a drone strike.
