Jamal Ahmad Mohammad Ali Al Badawi aka Jamal Abu Abed Al Rahman Al Badawi (Arabic: جمال محمد البدوي) (July 22, 1960 –January 1, 2019) was a Yemeni terrorist. He was convicted of helping plan the 2000 USS Cole bombing, which killed 17 American sailors on October 12, 2000, off the port coast of Aden, Yemen.[1] He was captured in Yemen and sentenced to death on September 29, 2004. Fox News called Al-Badawi a "mastermind" of the Cole bombing.[2]
He twice escaped from Yemen prison, once after his death sentence was issued, and was being sought as an FBI Most Wanted Terrorist fugitive.
He was reportedly killed by an airstrike on January 1, 2019 that was conducted in Ma'rib Governorate, Yemen.[3]

Yemeni officials said Jamal al-Badawi – a man convicted of plotting, preparing and helping carry out the Cole bombing – was among the fugitives, Interpol said. Al-Badawi was among those sentenced to death in September 2004 for plotting the attack, in which two suicide bombers blew up an explosives-laden boat next to the destroyer as it refueled in the Yemeni port of Aden on Oct. 12, 2000.
