Merlin Orr Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 From the news this morning. LYON, France (Feb. 5) -- A man considered a mastermind of the USS Cole bombing that killed 17 sailors in a Yemeni port in 2000 was among 23 people who escaped from a Yemen prison last week, Interpol said Sunday. The international police agency issued an "urgent global security alert" for those who escaped Friday from the prison via a tunnel. It called the escapees "dangerous individuals." A Yemen security official announced the escape of convicted al-Qaida members Friday but did not provide details. Interpol said in a statement that at least 13 of the 23 escapees were convicted al-Qaida fighters, who escaped via a 140-yard-long tunnel "dug by the prisoners and co-conspirators outside." Yemeni officials confirmed to Interpol that a man considered a mastermind of the Cole attack, identified as Jamal al-Badawi, was among those who escaped. Al-Badawi was among those sentenced to death in September 2004 for plotting the USS Cole attack. Two suicide bombers blew up an explosives-laden boat next to the destroyer as it refueled in the Yemeni port of Aden on Oct. 12, 2000. Another of the 23 escapees was identified as Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeiee, considered by Interpol to be one of those responsible for a 2002 attack on the French tanker Limburg off Yemen's coast. That attack killed a Bulgarian crew member and spilled 90,000 barrels of oil into the Gulf of Aden. 2/5/2006 09:53 EST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, better yet, perhaps...extradited and submitted to the tender mercies of Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County AZ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCK Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 You cannot rehabilitate people that have a fanatical and religeous drive to kill people. Hell, send me the bill for the bullet, I would gladly pay ad send back some relaods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakal Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Yep, I hate that. At least those Islmofacist terrorists had to work for their escape...the German government had the man who killed an American (during a botched Islamofacist terrorist attack) FREED last month. He was in German prison for life, which in Germany (it seems) isn't that...life-like. I hate that too. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
