Samir Khan, the American man behind the Al Qaeda magazine Inspire, was reportedly killed in the CIA drone strike this morning that targeted radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, also a U.S. citizen. Kahn, a self-described proud traitor and proponent of “media jihad,” lived in North Carolina as recently as four years ago, and moved to Yemen in 2009. [The Lede/NYT]
