re: #45 Killgore Trout

Of course. The attackers themselves said they were motivated by the drone attacks on Al Qaeda leaders in Yemen.

I’ll repeat this quote from the NYT article:

At a news conference the day after the ambassador and three other Americans were killed, a spokesman for Ansar al-Shariah praised the attack as the proper response to such an insult to Islam. “We are saluting our people for this zeal in protecting their religion, to grant victory to the Prophet,” the spokesman said. “The response has to be firm.”

The attackers said they were motivated by the video, the day after the attack.
