Alyan Muhammad Ali al-Wa'eli

Alyan Muhammad Ali al-Wa'eli (born 1970 in Yemen) became wanted in 2002, by the United States Department of Justice's FBI, which was then seeking information about his identity and whereabouts. Ali al-Wa'eli was identified as a known associate of the Yemen cell leader, Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei.

Ali al-Wa'eli is no longer listed by the FBI on their "Seeking Information" lists.
