WASHINGTON — At the Pentagon, just across the Potomac, this lunch guest was one of the more unusual ones.

The Pentagon confirmed that radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born al Qaeda operative now on a U.S. kill-or-capture list, had lunch at the Pentagon after the Sept. 11, attacks as part of an outreach program to talk to moderate Muslims, the Associated Press reported.

The cleric exchanged emails with the Army psychiatrist charged in the Ft. Hood shooting rampage.
