WASHINGTON (AP) - Two recent escapees from a Yemeni terrorist prison were added on Thursday to the FBI's list of most wanted terrorists.
Jamal al-Badawi and Jaber Elbaneh were part of a group of 23 al-Qaida prisoners who escaped Feb. 3 from a detention center in San`a, Yemen, through a 180-yard-long tunnel that surfaced in a mosque. The State Department is offering a $5 million reward for their capture.
Al-Badawi has been indicted by a U.S. federal grand jury for plotting, preparing and helping to carry out the attack on Oct. 12, 2000, on the destroyer USS Cole. The attack killed 17 American sailors in the Yemeni port of Aden.
