| Reliable | The U.S. State Department Rewards for Justice Program has offered a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his capture.
According to Rewards for Justice:
Jdey left his native Tunisia in 1991 and immigrated to Montreal, Canada, becoming a Canadian citizen in 1995. While in Canada, Jdey studied biology at the University of Montreal and attended the EI-Sunna (or Assunah) Mosque in Montreal.
Jdey departed Canada in 1999 and received combat training and experience in Afghanistan through 2000. He engaged in fighting against the Afghan Northern Alliance and authored a suicide letter stating his intention to become a martyr for jihad. During this time, Jdey also appeared in a well-known martyrdom video that was later found in an al-Qa'ida leader's house in 2001.
Following a return to the Montreal area in 2001 in which Jdey associated with extremists, Jdey left Canada. His whereabouts since then have been unknown. He was last identified as potentially being in Turkey in early 2002.2,4 |
