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. ==Life== The brother of Mohammed Jabarah and a former student at Brock University, the University of Ottawa and Carleton University,〔〔 In February 2001, Jabarah left Afghanistan to visit his parents in Kuwait City, and agreed to accompany them on the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, since his mother had not been before. After having a "lovely time", the three of them returned to Canada - where border officials questioned the Pakistani visa in Jabarah's passport.〔 Jabarah met with his brother in Dubai in January 2002, when both were already considered wanted al-Qaeda suspects. Four months later when Mohammed was arrested in Oman, Jabarah phoned his father Mansour who warned him that Canadian authorities were looking for him.〔McKenna, Terrence. CBC, "(Singapore in the cross-hairs )", October 11, 2004〕 Their family immigrated to Canada on August 16, 1994.〔Ressa, Maria. "Seeds of Terror", 2003. p. 165〕 Their father, of Iraqi descent,〔ArabicNews.com, (Two incidents violate the Saudi national day ), September 24, 2003〕 opened a gas station in St. Catharines.〔 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.〔Bell, Stewart. "The Martyr's Oath: The Apprenticeship of a Homegrown Terrorist", 2006〕〔 In July 2000, Abdul Rahman left for an Afghan training camp, and the following month Mohammed flew to Kuwait where he met with Ghaith who paid his fare to Karachi, from whence he traveled to Peshawar and hiked on foot into Torkham where the two brothers met up, waiting for their promised camp to finish construction and hanging around the Sheik Shaheed Abu Yahya Training Camp near Kabul instead.〔 In January 2001, he returned to his family in Canada, before embarking on the Hajj to Saudi Arabia.〔 Meanwhile, Mohammed attended a 10-week program at Al Farouq training camp before moving into a guesthouse in Kandahar where his brother later visited him.〔 Jabarah met with his brother Mohammed in Dubai in January 2002, when both were already considered wanted al-Qaeda suspects;〔 likely because Mohammed's Canadian passport had been found on December 8–9 in a raid by Singaporean authorities on suspected al-Qaeda militants.〔Abuza, Zachary.
