A Yemeni man who accidentally blew himself up during a police raid is linked to the 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole in Aden which killed 19 U.S. sailors, a Yemeni security official said. Samir Ahmed Mohammad al-Hada, also suspected of belonging to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda group, was killed on Wednesday in the capital Sanaa when the hand grenade he intended to throw at police exploded beside him. Yemen has been chasing Hada, who has many aliases, because he was believed to have received training "to carry out terrorist acts" while living in Afghanistan. Hada was also related to one of the 9-11 hijackers.
Sad. A promising young fellow grows up, enters the family business and dies in a work-related accident. Wonder if Yemeni workers' comp covers things like this? |
