Youssef al Shihri, one of the two al Qaeda operatives killed in a shootout with police near the Yemeni border, was a former detainee at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Al Shihri was on a list of the Kingdom™s 85 most wanted terrorists and recently contacted his family to have them pass along information of the death of another Guantanamo recidivist.
