Bilal al-Berjawi
Bilal al-Berjawi al-Lubnani (aka Abu Hafsa) 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.[1]
In 2006 he attended an al-Qaida training camp in Mogadishu.[2]
In February 2009 he traveled with his Egyptian friend Mohammed Sakr to Kenya; both were detained and questioned separately.[3] As early as October that same year they returned to East Africa, Somalia this time; in November, Ugandan authorities searched for them.[4] According to his "martyr biography," al-Berjawi attended another training camp in Baidoa. His UK citizenship was revoked in 2010 by Theresa May.[5] In 2011 he was probably injured in a drone strike near Kismayo.[6]
On January 21, 2012, al-Berjawi was killed by a drone strike outside Mogadishu.
