Nawar Anwar Al-Awlaki, the
8-year-old daughter of former al Qaeda in the
Arabian Peninsula leader Anwar al-Awlaki was
killed in a joint American-UAE raid against the
terror group Sunday, according to the girl's family.
Anwar Al-Awalki, a US-born cleric who directed
attacks against the US, was killed in a targeted
drone strike in 2011.
Multiple US officials said an assessment
of civilian casualties is still ongoing and that there
was no hard intelligence yet to suggest that al-
Awlaki's daughter was killed.
The raid also resulted in the death of US Navy
SEAL Chief Petty Officer William "Ryan" Owens
who was fatally wounded in a firefight that saw
three other US service members wounded and 14
al Qaeda fighters killed.
