Rayed Abdullah Salem Al Harbi (1988 – 18 October 2009) was a citizen of Saudi Arabia who was named on Saudi Arabia's list of most wanted terrorist suspects.[1][2] He was discovered with Yussef al-Shiri at Jizan, near Saudi Arabia's border with Yemen, while disguised in women's clothing, and wearing suicide vests, on 18 October 2009.[3][4][5]

Criminal biography

The two men died in a shootout, as did a Saudi policeman, when a Saudi policewoman was going to search the two "women".[3][4][5] A second policeman was injured. A third man, who has not been identified, and who was not in disguise, was driving with them, was captured. His interrogation led to the capture of six Yemeni accomplices.[6][7] The men were reported to have been members in Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. In addition to the suicide vests they were wearing their vehicle had a third completed suicide belt, and a fourth that had not yet been fully assembled.

Asharq Alawsat reports the men were driving a truck rented in Jeddah, Script error: No such module "convert". away.[5] They report the men probably crossed the border at Al-Harth, Script error: No such module "convert". away. The individual who rented the truck remains at large.
