Notes
1. CitationMiller, ‘U.S. Officials Believe al-Qaeda on Brink of Collapse’.
2. The deaths of US citizens al-Awlaqi and Samir Khan in September 2011 occurred after the book's publication. Given the extensive debate that drone targeted-killing has occasioned, it is worth observing that CitationBurke, while he discusses drone strikes in a half dozen places, does so only in passing. An extensive treatment of the legalities may be found in CitationMelzer, Targeted Killing in International Law.
3. CitationWarrick, ‘U.S. Accuses Iran of Aiding al-Qaeda’.
