The USAID file for al-Awlaki shows how the budding terrorist exploited the agency's penchant for doling out million to foreigners. 'This form, dated 1990, confirm‎s that Anwar al-Awlaki was qualified for an exchange visa ad that USAID was providing "full funding" for his studies at Colorado State University,' it reported in 2015. 'The document lists Anwar's birthplace incorrectly as Sanaa, Yemen's capital, which he later said was a deliberate falsehood offered at the urging of American officials who knew his father so that he could qualify for a scholarship reserved for foreign citizens.' When asked to list an address on the document, al-Awlaki wrote that he was in the care of 'USAID/Sana'a.' He would go on to graduate from Colorado State University in 1994, earning a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. But after his studies, al-Awlaki started working as a Muslim cleric in cities like Denver, Colorado; San Diego, California; and Falls Church, Virginia.
