A 13-year-old boy killed in Yemen last month by a CIA drone strike had told the Guardian just months earlier that he lived in constant fear of the “death machines” in the sky that had already killed his father and brother.
“I see them every day and we are scared of them,” said Mohammed Tuaiman, speaking from al-Zur village in Marib province, where he died two weeks ago.
“A lot of the kids in this area wake up from sleeping because of nightmares from them and some now have mental problems. They turned our area into hell and continuous horror, day and night, we even dream of them in our sleep.”
Much of Mohammed’s life was spent living in fear of drone strikes. In 2011 an unmanned combat drone killed his father and teenage brother as they were out herding the family’s camels.
The drone that would kill Mohammed struck on 26 January in Hareeb, about an hour from his home. The drone hit the car carrying the teenager, his brother-in-law Abdullah Khalid al-Zindani and a third man.
“I saw all the bodies completely burned, like charcoal,” Mohammed’s older brother Maqded said. “When we arrived we couldn’t do anything. We couldn’t move the bodies so we just buried them there, near the car.”
Several anonymous US government officials told Reuters that the strike had been carried out by the CIA and had killed “three men believed to be al-Qaida militants”. Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) claimed responsibility for the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris last month.

On the Inhabitants of the Middle East200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky. I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.
I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obesience.
I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

I bet the victims of little Mo's terrorist family could tell you about that too.
“Imagine if we could make those drone invisable.Then he’d really have something to fear.In this case a little fear is not a bad thing.
Herding the camels.....in a car
Or the dependents of the 9-11 victims.
I long for the day when the Guardian reporters “dream about drones”.
“Obama ‘death machine’ Crusade continues.”
So you take the side od the terrorists?
Excellent!
Sucks to be in your sand-Nazi family.
Skynet...
Just renounce Jihad and you,ll be fine.
I’m often worried about drones killing me. That would be having to be subjected to the droning of the lyin’ king or john f’n kohn-heinz-kerry. Not to mention, that according to the radical left wing extremists, snipers bad, drones good. WTH?
Can the Jews live?
“200 years from now, I want their children’s children’s children’s children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky. “
Send enough drones and there will be no children’s children’s children’s children to cower!
A lot of these ‘kids’ wake up with mental problems because of Islam.
“....stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful ‘Mericans ....”
.
Make that ‘powerful infidels’.
“They turned our area into hell and continuous horror, day and night”
No, Mo, your eponymous namesake from 15 centuries ago did that.
No pity for anyone named after a pedophile misogynist!
