Abdul Rahman Jabarah (عبدالرحمن جبارة) was a Canadian killed in a July 2003 firefight with Saudi Arabian officials who believed he was involved in the Riyadh compound bombings by al-Qaeda.
[2] Both Jabarah and his brother returned to Kuwait every summer to visit relatives, where they met with Islamic teacher Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, who would later become a spokesman for al-Qaeda.
[7] He wasn't heard from again until July 2003, when Saudi Arabia announced he had been killed in a shoot-out with al-Qaeda forces believed to be responsible for the Riyadh compound bombings earlier that year, with some even suggesting he had been a commander.
[8] At 5pm on May 6, the Saudi authorities raided a weapons cache in the Eshbiliah Quarter of Riyadh, and seized 55 grenades, five large bags filled with 377 kilograms of explosives, four machine guns with three boxes containing approximately 2,250 rounds, five computers, telecommunication devices, travel documents, identity cards, notebooks, bulletins, 253,717 Riyals and 5,300 American dollars.
[11][12][13] The authorities subsequently issued a list of 19 names tied to the bombing, including Jabarah, Zubayr al-Rimi, Ali Abd al-Rahman al-Faqasi and four of the dead bombers.
