Abdul Rahman Jabarah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abdul Rahman Jabarah was a Canadian killed in a July 2003 firefight with Saudi Arabian officials who believed he was involved in the Riyadh compound bombings by al-Qaeda.
The brother of Mohammed Jabarah and a former student at Carleton University[1], Jabarah met with his brother in Dubai in January 2002, when both were already considered wanted al-Qaeda suspects. Four months later when Mohammed was arrested in Oman, Jabarah phoned his father Mansour who warned him that Canadian authorities were looking for him.[2]
He wasn't heard from again until July 2003, when Saudi Arabia announced he had been killed in a shoot-out with al-Qaeda forces believed to be responsible for the Riyadh compound bombings earlier that year. His parents were not allowed to see or claim his body.[2][1]
