Have any of these stories provided an explanation of how Hijazi (if it is the same person), although sentenced to death in Jordan in 2000, wound up being vaporized in the Yemen desert in 2002?
Raed Hijazi's trial (conviction) in Jordan, according to what I have read, was recently
overturned. There were allegations the trial was unfair. Further, that he was tortured to confess, it is said.
And so perhaps he was released from Jordanian custody. I am still sure that Raed Hijazi is Ahmed (Ahmad) Hijazi, aka "Jalal".
