Thirteen al-Qaeda militants convicted in the attacks on the U.S. warship Cole and the French supertanker Limburg in Yemen were followed to various terrorist headquarters after their escape.

The USA followed all parties with satellite surveillance after IFRD chips were implanted during extensive interrogations and prisoner druggings.

Attacks were carried out after unmanned reconnaissance drones surveyed the sites for 48 hours.

Killed in several attacks were multiple high-level leaders of al-Qaeda and the escaped prisoners.

[Ole Okie]

Oh, they escaped (wink, wink, wink)?

[ViLaLuz]

I wonder if they had any help "escaping."

[XHogPilot]

Yemen Police Kill Suspected Al-Qaeda Fugitive In Shootout

Security forces killed an alleged al-Qaeda operative in a firefight at a marketplace in northern Yemen, police officials said Monday.

Officials said the suspect, identified as Yassir Nassir al-Humaiqani, was killed in a shootout with policemen in the southern province of Abyan on Sunday.

Humaiqani was among 23 suspected operatives of the al-Qaeda terrrorist network who escaped from a tunnel dug from a high-security jail in Sanaa on February 3, 2006.

The officials, who asked anonymity told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa that al-Humaiqani, reportedly masked and armed with a semi- automatic weapon and hand grenades, exchanged fire with policemen who tried to stop him.

Humaiqani was the third escapee to be killed by security forces since the mass jail break that embarrassed the Yemeni government and dealt a major blow to its efforts to pursue supporters of al-Qaeda.

The escapees also included 13 terrorists convicted in the 2000 bombing of the US destroyer USS Cole in port city of Aden and the bombing of the French oil supertanker Limburg in 2002.

In last October, security forces killed two of the jail breakers, Fawaz al-Rabyee and Muhammad al-Dailami, during two raids in a village north of the capital Sana'a

Two of the escapees were among four suicide bombers who carried out attacks at two oil facilities in eastern Yemen in last September.

Nine of the escapees have been recaptured or given themselves up to the authorities, including six convicted in the Limburg attack.
