Usayd al-Adani was a senior leader of AQAP. He was killed by a missile launched from a surveillance drone, on March 2, 2017. His killing attracted additional scrutiny as one of the seven other individuals killed by the missile was Yasir al-Silmi, said to be another name for an individual formerly held in extrajudicial detention in Guantanamo, Mohamed Tahar. He was the AQAP Emir of Abyan Governorate, and an experienced bomb-maker.[1]
