Yemen Has No Interest In Stopping Al Qaeda Cleric

President Obama's outreach to the Muslim world is paying off...NOT.

Yemen says it will not hunt down a radical US-born cleric who has reportedly been added to the CIA's list of targets to be killed or captured.
Yemen's foreign minister says the U.S. has not handed over evidence to support allegations Anwar al-Awlaki is recruiting for al-Qaida's offshoot in the impoverished country on the southern edge of the Arabian Peninsula.

Al-Awlaki's sermons were attended by at least three of the 9/11 bombers, first in San Diego and then when he moved to Virginia. Another of his followers and pen-pals was Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan, whom he praised after the shooting. Christmas Day attacker to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab claims to have been personally recruited by al-Awlaki in Yemen.

But Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirbi said today that al-Awlaki is not a terrorist.
