Only the US - before the 1993 WTC attack. After that only Iraq. Not safe elsewhere - he was wanted. Yasin, Abdul Rahman Aliases: Abdul Rahman S. Taha, Abdul Rahman S. Taher, Aboud Yasin Gender: Male Biography: Abdul Rahman Yasin was born April 10, 1960 in Bloomington, Indiana, where his father was a graduate student. After spending more than just his formative years in Iraq, Yasin returned to the United States in the early 1990s to live with his mother and brother living in Jersey City, New Jersey. There, he met Ramzi Yousef, who recruited Yasin to participate in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. Yasin helped mix the chemicals used in the blast, at one point severely burning his leg. Yasin lived with several other World Trade Center conspirators at 34 Kensington Ave in Jersey City. The FBI initially detained Mr. Yasin after the attack and then released him. After it realized the error, the FBI placed Abdul Yasin on the list of "Most Wanted" terrorists, but Yasin had already fled the country. On the evening of March 5th, Yasin departed the United States on a Royal Jordanian Airlines flight. The FBI believes that Yasin flew to Jordan and then drove twelve hours to Baghdad, where he has relatives. A reporter for ABC News spotted Yasin in Baghdad in 1994 and reported that he was operating freely. A neighbor told the reporter that Yasin was working for the Iraqi government. Documents recovered from Iraq indicate that Yasin not only received safe haven but also funding from Saddam Hussein’s regime. In an interview with the CBS News program "60 Minutes" in June 2002, Mr. Yasin admitted his involvement in the World Trade Center bombing and expressed regret for what he had done. "I'm very sorry for what happened," he said. "I don't know what to do to make it up." Abdul Rahman Yasin is still at large. The US is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information leading directly to his apprehension or conviction. Yasin is 5'10", weighs 180 pounds, and possibly has a chemical burn scar on his right thigh. He is also an epileptic and takes medication for his condition. tkb.org
