Kamal Derwish (1973 – November 3, 2002) was an American citizen killed by the CIA as part of a covert targeted killing mission in Yemen on November 3, 2002. The CIA used an RQ-1 Predator drone to shoot a Hellfire missile, destroying the vehicle in which he was driving with five others.〔(U.S. Citizen Among Those Killed In Yemen Predator Missile Strike )〕 Derwish had been closely linked to the growing religious fundamentalism of the Lackawanna Six, a group of Muslim-Americans who had attended lectures in his apartment near Buffalo, New York.〔('Lackawanna 6' Link To Yemen Killings? )〕 That an American citizen had been killed by the CIA without trial drew criticism.〔Temple-Raston, Dina. "The Jihad Next Door: The Lackawanna Six and Rough Justice in the Age of Terror", 2007〕 American authorities quickly back-pedaled on their stories celebrating the death of Derwish, instead noting they had been unaware he was in the car which they said had been targeted for its other occupants, including Abu Ali al-Harithi, believed to have played some role in the USS ''Cole'' bombing.〔 According to former FBI agent Ali Soufan, Derwish was al-Harithi's main assistant.〔http://www.rulit.net/books/the-black-banners-read-249656-126.html〕 ==Life== Derwish was born at Mercy Hospital in southern Buffalo, grew up in and continued to live "on and off" in the suburb of Lackawanna.〔 He briefly worked for the plastics factory in the area, but also frequently traveled overseas building up an "air of mystery" around him, as he combined religious fervour with Western ways.〔 He possibly used the name "Ahmed Hijazi". 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「Kamal Derwish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
