Top al-Qaida convicts escape from Yemeni jail Escaped militants include USS Cole plotters, state-run Web site says Updated: 7:40 a.m. ET Feb. 4, 2006 SAN'A, Yemen - Thirteen al-Qaida militants convicted in the attacks on the USS Cole and the French supertanker Limburg in Yemen were among 23 men who broke out of jail in San'a, a state-run Web site said on Saturday. The September 26 site (www.26sep.net) quoted unnamed sources saying the 13 convicts included top militants Jamal Badawi and Fawaz al-Rabe’ie, who managed to flee the central prison by digging a 70-meter-long tunnel. Rabe’ie -- the leader of the group convicted of bombing the Limburg in 2002 -- was facing the death sentence, while Badawi was serving 15 years in jail for the bombing of the Cole in 2000 after his sentence was commuted from the death penalty. Badawi had escaped from prison in Aden in 2003 but was later arrested and sent back to prison, the Web site said. Yemen, the ancestral home of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, has cracked down on al-Qaida-linked militants following attacks at home.
