My only source was yahoo news. They had 3 articles saying the same for *Hijazi*. That the one killed in Yemen is Ahmed.

Only Yahoo news hits for Raed *Hijazi*

He was a typical California student.

In more ways than one. One less piece of $hit littering the landscape.

Aka "Ahmed" shows up for Raed Hijazi. The man killed has one nom du guerre as "Jalal". Jalal is the first name of Raed Hijazi's lawyer in Syria and Jordan. My projection: in addition to the six or so AKAs he used, including Ahmed/Ahmad Jijazi, Raed also got the "Jalal" from his attorney.

[LoneGOPinCT]

And he drove a cab too!!?

No, a hackney carriage.

Boy, there's a euphemism for you!

[Roscoe]

Was he driving?

[browardchad]

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?

[dennisw]

Sounds good. Lets see what else rolls in on this American born Muslim character who got greased.

DEPORT THE MUSLIM TERRORISTS!

[aShepard]

His face is familiar, but I cannot remember anything about him,” said Ayad Alqazzaz, who taught a sociology class taken by Hijazi in the 1989 winter inter-session

Ah, another Kalifornia rag-head teaching the religion of peace!

[AmericanInTokyo]

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".

[browardchad]

Raed Hijazi's trial (conviction) in Jordan, according to what I have read, was recently overturned.

The only info I can find is that he was sentenced to death in Jordan in February, 2002 (not 2000), and (on IslamOnLine), that his lawyer was appealing it in March 2002. I can't find any info on the conviction being overturned.

Do you have a link?

AMMAN, Jordan, Oct. 17, 2002 (UPI) -- A Jordanian civilian court has overturned a State Security Court verdict that sentenced a man to death on charges of terrorism, the second such reversal in less than a month, judicial sources said Thursday. The sources said the Court of Cassation, an appeals court, found the military tribunal's verdict lacked sufficient evidence to sentence to death Raed Hijazi, a U.S. citizen of Jordanian origin. In its decision, the appeals court said the State Security Court failed to prove that Hijazi, who was a cab driver in Boston, had possessed or manufactured illegal explosives "for plans to carry out terrorist acts." It also found no justification for convicting him of possessing automatic weapons without a license. But it supported the military court's decision to "drop charges of conspiring to carry out terrorist acts and belonging to an illegal organization, (al Qaida organization)."

(As far as I know, the man was then free, er, but not for long).

Thanks; I just found the AP story, which is basically the same as the one you posted. Unbelievable! This guy was involved with the Cole bombing, the Millenium plot, a plot to kill American tourists in Israel, and a smorgasbord of other al Quaeda ops, and they let him go.

When justice fails, there's nothing like a well-aimed missile to even the score.

Maybe we should simply offer all the home-grown Islamists an all-expenses-paid vacation in beautiful Yemen -- including Mohammad Hijazi's father.

From ArabicNews.com:

Muhammad Hijazi, the (San Francisco-educated Palestinian engineer) father of the convict, accused the Jordanian authorities of seeking to "please Israel and to protect it" as well as "to get money from the US under the pretext of resisting terrorism." He said " They want to please the Israelis and the Americans at the expense of my son.

Is it even possible to be a Palestinian and a loyal American? It seems not.

We just killed an American citizen!

This is terrible! We're going to have to put up with whining from the lefties for days...

[AmericanInTokyo]

Still working here on even more strong proof that Mr. Hijazi is (now 'was') Raed Hijazi = aka Ahmad Hijazi = aka Ahmed Hijazi = aka 'Jalal'.

IF this is one in the same individual, i.e. that he is al-Qaeda, went to school in California, was a taxi driver in Boston, is a natural born American citizen, has an alias nickname the same as his attorney's first name in Syria and Jordan, was perhaps let go by Amman, Jordan authorities only three weeks ago and--finally--has now met his fate in a desert east of Sa'ana, Yemen at the hands of hi-tech CIA and the Yemeni govt., this is a big story indeed.

Need to firm it up even more. Thanks to the Freepers scouring news sources, Western and Arabic alike!

No major news outlet in the US is making this connection yet, from what I can tell. But all the research points to the connection.

[MarineDad]

His father once called him "a typical American."...
...he later left for Afghanistan and allegedly studied bomb making at an al Qaeda camp.

Ah, yuh. Right. "Typical'" aye. But right now BeanyBoy is stoking furnaces with a red-hot pitchfork wearing only an asbestos turban. Right where he belongs.

A Jordanian civilian court has overturned a State Security Court

And the US Military has just reviewed that decision, and has rendered a contrary opinion.

Important. I need some memory help. The husband and wife that owned the apartment/condo in Malaysia that the important terrorist meeting occurred in. I can't remember their names, but if memory serves they were both students at Cal. State in Sacremento. Could someone with a better memory for names try to track this group down and see if there is a cross over in time with this guy? Also they were the sponsor into the U.S. of the 20th hijacker that was nabbed and on trial up in Minnesota. I did a lot of research of them last summer and posted the findings on FR, but can't seem to reference it now.
