Jamal Mohammed al-Bedawi () is a Yemen i who was convicted of helping plan the 2000 USS Cole Bombing . He was captured in Yemen and sentenced to death on September 29 , 2004 . Al-Bedawi was also indicted in May 2003 by the United States for the USS ''Cole'' bombing and the attempted attack on the USS ''The Sullivans'' . He is thought to have travelled to Saudi Arabia and purchased a small boat and then a truck and trailer to transport it. This boat sank from the weight of the explosives while preparing the USS ''The Sullivans'' plot. He is also thought to have leased the safehouses used in these endeavors. Only two of the six charged by Yemen in the attack were sentenced to death; the other four were sentenced to 5-10 years imprisonment. After hearing his sentence, Al-Bedawi declared "This is an unjust verdict, this is an American verdict. There are no human rights in the world, except for the Americans. All the Muslims in the world are being used to serve American interests." His family announced they would appeal. Because he was being held by U.S. forces, the other defendant sentenced to death, Abd Al-Rahim Al-Nashiri , was tried and sentenced In Absentia . According to a BBC report, al-Bedawi was one of 23 people who escaped from a Yemeni jail on February 3 , 2006 , 12 of them Al-Qaeda members. Al-Bedawi was one of the ''Cole'' defendants who previously escaped from a Yemeni prison in April 2003 , but was quickly recaptured.. REFERENCES |
