The United States was reportedly able to target an alleged al-Qaeda operative
named Adnan al-Qadhi for a drone strike after U.S. allies in Yemen convinced an
eight-year-old 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 al-Qadhi with a missile. He was killed
last November, less than 24 hours after President Barack Obama’s re-election.
Gregory Johnsen writes about the case in his new article "Did an 8-Year-Old Spy
for America?" published in The Atlantic.
