According to NBC News Yazji was suspected of playing a role in a November 2003 attack on a compound housing foreigners.[4]

Accounts of his death vary. He was reported to have been killed in a shootout with Saudi security officials in April 2004, and again in 2005.[5][1][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Accounts of how he died vary. CNN reported that he was shot when he responded to an order to meekly emerge from a hideout and surrender with his guns blazing.[13] Other accounts have him dying when Saudi security officials stormed his hideout.

The Independent reported he was killed in a shootout, outside Mecca, in September 2011.[14]
