Yemen

The father of radical al Qaeda cleric Anwar al Awlaki said his son “will cease his statements and speeches against” the US if he is removed from a list of targeted terrorists. Yemen said it is searching for Awlaki but has not been given information on his activities. The chief of the Awlaki tribe denied threatening the government if Anwar is killed or captured.
