Eight-year-old daughter of Terrrorist Anwar al-Awlaki killed in Pres. Donald Trump's First Yemen raid


An eight-year-old girl and a SEAL Team Six member have been named after they were killed in Trump's first military raid as President, in which officials have said 'almost everything went wrong.'

Nawar al-Awlaki, also known as Nora, was among the non-combats killed in the raid, which also resulted in the death of several Yemeni women. 

The only other American citizen killed was the SEAL, Chief Petty Officer William 'Ryan' Owens, a 36-year-old from Illinois. 
SEAL Team 6 is the US Navy's special forces team that gained worldwide fame for killing Osama bin Laden.

This was the president's first clandestine strike, and not one that was originally ordered by former President Obama. 

It involved 'boots on the ground' at an al Qaeda Camp near al Bayda in south central Yemen, officials confirmed in a statement to NBC news. 

The eight-year-old, Nora, was the daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American al Qaeda leader, born in New Mexico, who was killed in a US strike ordered by President Obama five years ago.
