2:35Now PlayingWatch the full 50minute interview with Jeremy Scahill at The United States attempted to assassinate U.S. citizen Anwar alAwlaki more than a dozen times before finally hitting him with a fatal drone strike in September 2011, according to investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill. Scahill details these attempts in his new book, "Dirty WarsThe World Is a Battlefield." In one chaotic scene, after U.S. missiles had missed him, Anwar alAwlaki switched vehicles with two other people. "It's something like out of some Hollywood movie, they drive in opposite directions away from the smoke," Scahill says. "AlAwlaki watched his car, with the two brothers in it, blow up, while he was on a sort of cliff in the mountains."
