Prison escapee on FBI list surrenders

BUFFALO, NY - A Yemeni American who was on the FBI's list of 26 most wanted terrorism suspects has surrendered after tunneling out of a Yemeni prison with other convicted Al Qaeda members last year, authorities said.

Jaber Elbaneh, 40, and another escapee turned themselves in recently, said Interior Minister Rashid Alimi. Elbaneh, a U.S. citizen of Yemeni origin, is wanted on a 2002 charge of providing material support to a terrorist organization — a suspected Al Qaeda cell based in Lackawanna, N.Y., outside Buffalo. The State Department in 2003 offered a reward of up to $5 million for his capture.
