Ibrahim al-Banna

Ibrahim al-Banna was a citizen of Egypt who security officials suspected was a leader in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular.[1] US officials claimed that an October 2011 missile launched from an unmanned aerial vehicle had killed al-Banna, and six other officials associated with AQAP, including American Anwar al-Awlaki's teenage son.
