TEXT: "CAB DRIVER
RAED HIJAZI
Age: 33
Last U.S. address: Boston
His father once called him "a typical American." A former Boston cabdriver, Hijazi now sits in a Jordanian jail, sentenced to death by hanging for his role in plotting terrorist attacks over the millennium holiday.
In a plot tied to Osama bin Laden, the heavyset Hijazi allegedly hoped to murder hundreds of Americans, Israelis, and others by bombing Christian holy sites, border crossings, and the Radisson Hotel in Jordan.
Hijazi was born in San Jose, Calif., the son of a San Francisco-educated Palestinian engineer. Although he grew up mostly in Jordan and Saudi Arabia, his family had a love affair with America and vacationed at Disneyland and in Florida. Hijazi fell in with Islamic radicals while studying business at California State University- Sacramento around 1989. He later left for Afghanistan and allegedly studied bomb making at an al Qaeda camp."

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?

...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.

How tragic..........NOT!!!!!
In my mind, he got what he deserved. Hopefully, more will meet a similar fate.
