Abdullah Al-Rimi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abdullah Al-Rimi (Arabic: عبد الله الريمي; born 1974) or Abdullah Ahmed Al-Remi, (born in Yemen), has been described as an "important al-Qaeda recruiter",[2] and became wanted in 2006 by the United States Department of Justice's FBI, "sought in connection with possible terrorist threats against the United States." He was one of 23 people who escaped from Yemen prison in San'a, including the Yemen cell leader, Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei. Several weeks later he became listed on the FBI's third major "wanted" list, the FBI Seeking Information – War on Terrorism list.[3] Very little else is known about him.
