Usayd al-Adani (died March 2, 2017) was a senior leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.[1][2][3][4][5]

He was killed by a missile launched from a surveillance drone, on March 2, 2017.

After his death American officials claimed al-Adani was not just the leader of AQAP's efforts in Abyan Province, but that he was also an experienced bomb-maker.[5] Courtney Kube, reporting for NBC News reported that he was killed in the village of Wadi Yashbum in Shabwa Governorate.
