Bilal al-Berjawi


Bilal al-Berjawi al-Lubnani was a terror suspect killed by a U.S. drone strike.
He was born in Beirut in September 1984. His parents took him to London where he grew up in St. John's Wood.
In 2006 he attended an al-Qaida training camp in Mogadishu.
In February 2009 he traveled with his Egyptian friend Mohammed Sakr to Kenya; both were detained and questioned separately. As early as October that same year they returned to East Africa, Somalia this time; in November, Ugandan authorities searched for them. According to his "martyr biography," al-Berjawi attended another training camp in Baidoa. His UK citizenship was revoked in 2010 by Theresa May. In 2011 he was probably injured in a drone strike near Kismayo.
On January 21, 2012, al-Berjawi was killed by a drone strike outside Mogadishu.
