The US Treasury designated American-born Muslim cleric Anwar al Awlaki as a terrorist for his involvement in several terror attacks. “He has involved himself in every aspect of the supply chain of terrorism — fundraising for terrorist groups, recruiting and training operatives, and planning and ordering attacks on innocents,” the Treasury stated.
