Abderraouf bin Habib bin Yousef Jdey (Arabic: عبد الرؤوف جدي, Abd ar-Rawūf Jday) (also known as Farouk al-Tunisi and Al-Rauf Al-Jiddi) (born May 30, 1965) is a Canadian citizen,[1] who was found swearing to die as a shaheed (martyr) on a series of videotapes found in the rubble of Mohammed Atef's house in Afghanistan in 2002.[2][3][4][5]

The United States has issued three separate alerts that Jdey was about to attack inside the country, in January 2002, September 2003 and May 2004.[6] Three years later, the United States announced that he was one of a handful of terrorists actively plotting to attack the country, although none of their predictions ever panned out.
