ALEXANDER MELEAGROU-HITCHENS
There are rumours circulating within the online jihadist community that a new video of English-speaking al-Qaeda ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki is soon to be released.
Since Awlaki has been on the run, little has been heard from him and this video, if real, could act as a rallying call for his many followers around the world.
Stay tuned to the FoI blog for more on this as it happens...
