Abdulrab Muhammad Muhammad Ali al-Sayfi, a Yemeni, became wanted in 2002, by the United States Department of Justice's FBI, which was then seeking information about his identity and whereabouts. He was identified as a known associate of the Yemen cell leader, Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei.

He is no longer listed by the FBI on their "Seeking Information" lists.

February 12, 2002 Yemeni terror alert

On February 11, 2002, al-Sayfi was named in a suspected Yemen plot, for which he was among 17 suspected terrorists (3 days later reduced to 11 suspects) were added to the FBI's third major "wanted" list, the " Seeking Information" list. ^[1]

By 2006, his details had been removed and archived from the FBI's current main wanted pages. ^{[2] [3]}

Whether foiled, aborted, or merely incorrect specific intelligence, the February 12, 2002 attack never occurred. However, other attacks and plots in Yemen soon followed.
