On Oct. 13, a former Guantanamo detainee named Yousef Mohammed al Shihri was killed in a shootout at a checkpoint along the Saudi-Yemeni border. Al Shihri and his accomplices were stopped by Saudi security forces after their suspicious behavior drew attention. Two of the travelers, including al Shihri, were reportedly dressed as women. Saudi security personnel decided to search the al Qaeda car and its passengers, but al Shihri and the others opened fire. Al Shihri and one other al Qaeda member were killed in the shootout, while a third was arrested. One Saudi security officer was also killed.
Al Shihris death comes just weeks after one of his al Qaeda colleagues, Fahd Saleh Suleiman al Jutayli, was similarly killed in a shootout between the Yemeni Army and Houthi rebels in northern Yemen. Shortly thereafter, Al Shihri called his family in Saudi Arabia to tell them of al Jutaylis death and to ask them to inform al Jutaylis family.
The Saudi security personnel who searched al Shihris car reportedly found a small cache of arms, including suicide explosive belts. According to a spokesman for the Saudi Interior Ministry:
"An initial inspection showed two of them wearing explosive belts ready to be detonated, besides a number of hand grenades. A number of other grenades and automatic weapons as well as materials suspected of being for use to manufacture and prepare explosives were also found inside the car.? That Yousef Mohammed al Shihri returned to jihad after being released from Guantanamo is not surprising given what the US government alleged about him in three memos written between Sept. 25, 2004 and Oct. 12, 2006. The publicly-available documents do not include any record of al Shihri attending his combatant status review tribunal (CSRT) or administrative review board (ARB) hearings, so it is not clear if al Shihri attempted to answer all of the allegations against him. However, the US governments memos note that when al Shihri was challenged with the inconsistencies in his cover story and his lies concerning his time in Afghanistan, he flatly refused to cooperate and told more lies. It is therefore possible that he never attended either his CSRT or ARB hearings, both of which required voluntary participation.
According to the US military and intelligence officials who investigated al Shihris case, he was a committed jihadist who left his home for Afghanistan in early 2001....
What was the basis for his release and when did it occur?
Is that a banana in your berka or are you just happy to see me?....
Looks like Dear Leader has blood on his hands if he released the former Gitmo guest to his ultimate death.

another serendipitous good conclusion to a bad plan of releasing these terrorist, scum....
What's that definition of appeasement?
Feeding the alligator in the hope that he eats you last...
The article at the link explains this in great detail. And the explanation is outrageous.

Well.........bye!
Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola.
It would be much cheaper, easier and safer to just shoot the whole bunch now.
Bawahahahaha LOL Karma works.

My favorite solution involves turning them over to the Saudis and telling the Saudis about their plans to kill the Saudi king. Meanwhile, I hope our soldiers are just killing them all instead of taking prisoners.
I hate to burst your bubble, but she is no doubt covered with a thick, black pelt on her arms and legs as well. Also: mustache.

I never thought I’d say this to the Saudis, but “Great job!”
There’s the silver lining.
Saudis: Dude looked like a lady”
In an area of the world that has absolutely no respect for anything female, it is ironic that he was dressed as a woman and got shot....
God does have a sense of humor...
More likely the barrel of an AK.
K-Bye!
Allah akbar!
...even a caveman can do it.
