Warrant withdrawn in 2002 for radical cleric who praised Fort Hood suspect

An arrest warrant for a radical Islamic cleric who has become an important figure in the Fort Hood shooting investigation was withdrawn in 2002 by the Colorado U.S. Attorney's Office in Denver — possibly preventing his prosecution years before one of his followers killed 13.

An arrest warrant was issued for Anwar al-Awlaki in 2002 on charges from Denver's federal court of making a false statement and passport fraud, court documents show. Those charges were withdrawn before al-Awlaki, who was living in Yemen, was served the arrest warrant.

Apparently they were looking to jump start those warrants - never mind.

This guy graduated from Colorado St. Univ. as a civil engineer, and was born in Las Crucas, New Mexico. He had contacts w/ two of the 9/11 hi-jackers along with others involved in other attacks.
