"The death of Awlaki marks another significant milestone in the broader effort to defeat al-Qaeda and its affiliates. …This is further proof that al-Qaeda and its affiliates will find no safe haven anywhere in the world," Obama said at a ceremony Friday honouring the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
„Avlakijeva smrt je još jedna značajna prekretnica u širim nastojanjima da se poraze Al Kaida i njeni ogranci. …Ovo je dodatni dokaz da Al Kaida i njeni ogranci neće pronaći utočište bilo gde u svetu", izjavio je Obama na svečanosti održanoj u petak u čast odlazećeg načelnika Združenog generalštaba.
