Younis Mohammad Ibrahim al-Hayyari
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Younis Mohammad Ibrahim al-Hayyari (Arabic: يونس محمد إبراهيم الحياري ) (1969-2005) was #1 on Saudi Arabia's list[1] of 36 "most wanted terrorist suspects" published on 28 June 2005. He was killed five days later in a Saudi raid in western Riyadh.[2]
The Saudi statement says that al-Hayyari was a Moroccan who traveled to KSA on hajj in 2001, and then went underground. He was accused of playing a part in several attacks in the country, and being an affiliate of fellow Moroccan Karim El Mejjati, who was killed at Ar Rass a few weeks earlier.
