j.j. green. thanks for joining us on short notice. we appreciate that. >> what is the latest? what are your sources telling you? >> it was a drone, a u.s. drone in yemen. it was earlier in the day. it is too early to have scientific confirmation that it was him supposedly because dna would have to be used but most likely a photo or something else that would give some reasonable representation of his likeness was used to essentially assure authorities that it was him and it's a big day for the u.s. and for yemen. >> i just want to say one thing. earlier reports were saying that yemeni forces but this was a u.s.-controlled drone? that means that the u.s. was involved in this operation? >> sure. >> the yemenis don't have drone capabilities that would be operated autonomously or without some kind of involvement from the u.s. >> how big is this? what does this mean? >> this is a temporary lobotomy for the next generation of all al-awlaki was the next generation, using the internet, social media. very
