Jaber A. Elbaneh (with an alternate spelling of "Gabr al-Bana") ((アラビア語:جبر البنا)) (born: September 9, 1966) is a Yemeni-American who was labeled a suspected terrorist by the United States after it emerged that he had attended al-Farooq alongside the Lackawanna Six, and remained on at the camp after they returned home. He fled to Yemen, where he worked as a cab driver before turning himself in to authorities. As Yemeni officials squabbled over his US$5 million reward, he escaped in a mass breakout along with a number of other high-profile prisoners, and was added to the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list. When Yemen convicted him in absentia for conspiracy in a plot against oil facilities, he again turned himself in to the police, and served a 5-year sentence. He is related to Susan Elbaneh, the only American victim of a terrorist attack against the U.S. Embassy in Yemen in September 2008. ==Life in the United States== Born in Yemen, Elbaneh lived in the United States where he maintained a "spotty work history", with his longest stint being at a New York cheese factory.〔Temple-Raston, Dina. ''The Jihad Next Door: The Lackawanna Six and Rough Justice in the Age of Terror'', 2007〕 He is married, with seven children.〔 Elbaneh was closely associated with the Lackawanna Six, a group of American friends living in the suburbs of Buffalo, New York who had attended an Afghan training camp together prior to the outbreak of the War on Terror. When the group went to Galyan's Sporting Goods in Cheektowaga to outfit themselves for the trip, purchasing boots, flashlights, books, diarrhea medication and other essentials, he laughed that he would just add it all onto his credit card account, bringing his total debt to $145,000.〔 Elbaneh was also indicted ''in absentia'' in a federal criminal complaint unsealed on May 21, 2003, in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York, Buffalo, New York.〔(FBI Most Wanted Terrorists wanted poster for Elbaneh )〕 All of them attended get-togethers at the apartment of Kamal Derwish, and Elbaneh and Yahya Goba tended to "compete" for the attention and favour of Derwish, who spoke of his travels abroad and ostensible history fighting in Palestine.〔 In October, FBI consultant Paul Williams wrote a book ''Dunces of Doomsday'' in which he claimed that Adnan Shukrijumah, Amer el-Maati, Elbaneh and Anas al-Liby had all been seen around Hamilton, Ontario the previous year, and that Shukrijumah had been seen at McMaster University where he "wasted no time in gaining access to the nuclear reactor and stealing more than 180 pounds of nuclear material for the creation of radiological bombs". He was subsequently sued by the University for libel, as there had been no evidence to suggest any part of his story was true. The publisher later apologised for allowing Williams to print statements which "were without basis in fact".〔Pither, Kerry. "Dark Days: The Story of Four Canadians Tortured in the Name of Fighting Terror", 2008.〕〔el-Maati, Ahmed Barbara Jackman. (Chronology of events )〕 By June 2003, Elbanehhad been added to the FBI Seeking Information - War on Terrorism list.〔(FBI Seeking Information, War on Terrorism list archive ), Internet Archive Wayback Machine, June 3, 2003〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jaber A.
