10:38Now PlayingThe United States was reportedly able to target an alleged alQaeda operative named Adnan alQadhi for an drone strike after U.S. allies in Yemen convinced an 8yearold boy to place a tracking chip in the pocket of the man he considered to be his surrogate father. Shortly after the child planted the device, a U.S. drone tracked and killed alQadhi with a missile. He was killed last November less than 24 hours after President Barack Obama's reelection. Gregory Johnsen writes about the case in his new article "Did an 8YearOld Spy for America?" published in The Atlantic.
