Yemen Times:
The official list of the suspected prisoners as distributed by the Ministry of Interior consisted only of 22 names, excluding Hamdi Al-Ahdal.

(Then there are the alternate spellings: The Mutamarnet website mentioned that the fugitives, particularly Jamal al-Badawqi, the second one accused in the case of Cole, were 9 of those tried in the case of blasting the French oil tanker Limburg offshore Mukalla in 2002. They are: Mohammed Ali Saad, Arif Saleh Mujali, Omar Saeed Jarallah, Qassem Yahya al-Raimi, and Mohammed Ahmed al-Dailami. The list of runaways also includes four persons convicted on charge of their membership of al-Qaeda organization and formation of an armed gang, namely: Ibrahim Mohammed al-Maqri, Shafiq Ahmed Omar, Abdullah Yahya al-Wadie and Mansour Nasser al-Bayhani. Two others are from al-Tawheed battalions that were headed by Anwar al-Jelani. They are: Abdulrahman Ahmed Basurra, and Khalid Mohammed al-Batati. The other convicted one is called Abdullah Ahmed al-Raymi, handed over to Yemen by the sate of Qatar and he had been sentenced for four years imprisonment. )
Jabar or Gaber al-Banna or Elbaneh may or may not be this Lackawanna associated person: (FOX): ….Jaber Elbaneh, accused of belonging to an al-Qaida terror cell in Lackawanna.
From January 2004 There were earlier reports this month that Jaber Elbaneh, for whom there is a $5 million reward, had been detained in Yemen. Some reports suggested he had turned himself in…..U.S. Attorney Michael A. Battle and other law enforcement officials said they believe that Elbaneh while in Yemen was associating with major al Qaeda figures.
But its hard to say. Theres a lot of al-Banna’s. I have to check some of the other names.
Also it may be that the mosque they tunneled into and from is one where al-Hittar normally preaches. I have to double check that.
