Jamal Ahmad Mohammad Ali Al Badawi , also Jamal Abu Abed Al Rahman Al Badawi , or Dschamal Muhammad al-Badawi ( Arabic جمال محمد البدوي, DMG Ǧamāl Muḥammad al-Badawī ; probably born in 1960 or 1963 ; died January 1, 2019 ), was a Yemeni citizen and terrorist . In the Arabic form of courtesy (Kunya) , he is also known as Abu Abd al-Rahman . He was found guilty of being a mastermind and accomplice in the attack on the USS Cole on October 12, 2000. 17 US military personnel were killed and 39 wounded in the suicide attack off the Yemeni port city of Aden. Al Badawi was killed in a targeted American air strike in Yemen in 2019.

Processes

Damage to the side of the USS Cole after the suicide attack in October 2000

The United States viewed Al Badawi as a mastermind behind the attack on the USS Cole , perpetrated by two suicide bombers and committed by Osama bin Laden . The assassins drove a small boat in the port of Aden alongside the Cole and blew themselves up, tearing a large hole in the side of the American destroyer. Al Badawi is said to have supplied the assassins with explosives.

On May 15, 2003, the United States brought an absentee charge against Al Badawi on 51 counts , including the attack on the USS Cole and the attempted attack on the USS The Sullivans . He was arrested by Yemeni security forces in Yemen and sentenced to death there in 2004 . With him was sentenced to death in the absence of the Saudi Abd al Rahim Naschiri, four other accused received prison terms of between five and ten years. Al Badawi's death sentence was overturned in February 2005 and commuted to 15 years in prison.

In February 2006, Al Badawi escaped from custody. In 2007 he surrendered to the Yemeni authorities. They released him with a secret agreement in exchange for divulging his knowledge of al-Qaeda operations. Media reported that Al Badawi had welcomed well-wishers at his home in Aden. The US Department of Justice said it was "shocked and deeply disappointed" that Al Badawi was not being held, and that Yemen had been officially informed of this.

Abd al Rahim Naschiri is in the prison camp of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base . As early as 2002, a presumably third man behind the Cole attack, Abu Ali al-Harithi, was killed by the CIA in Yemen with a missile fired by an MQ-1 Predator drone .

Escape

Al Badawi had escaped from Yemeni prisons twice. The first time he escaped from a prison for political prisoners in Aden on April 11, 2003, with nine other inmates. He was caught again in March 2004. He was on the run after his last outbreak in February 2006. From 2006 he was on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list, the FBI's list of the most wanted terrorists.

death

According to media reports, Al Badawi was killed in an air strike by American forces in the Yemeni Ma'rib governorate on January 1, 2019 . US President Trump announced Badawi's death on January 6th on Twitter . The United States Central Command confirmed that Al Badawi was killed in an air strike east of Sanaa .
