US drone strikes executed a US citizen and his sixteen-year-old son without trial

Evidence

This list sometimes included US citizens like the Yemeni-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. In the same drone strike that killed al-Awlaki, his sixteen-year-old son Abdulrahman was also executed without as much as a trial or the presentation of evidence in a court of law. — Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, 508
