After being sentenced for ‘material support’ for al Qaeda, Lackawanna Six ringleader “Kamal Derwish, had fled to Yemen, although his escape would prove short-lived. On November 3, 2002, Derwish was incinerated in a CIA drone strike on the car he was riding in across the Yemeni desert, along with one of the USS Cole conspirators. He was the first American citizen to be killed in a U.S. drone strike.”
