New developments involving a terror suspect from Baldwin County.
A report in an Internet news journal suggests Omar Hammami may still be alive. The Long War Journal report published on March 15th quotes a senior US intelligence official who said "our assessment is Hammami is not dead, at least we see no evidence of it,"
On March 8, Somali's Defense Minister told the Associated Press that the Daphne native had been killed in heavy fighting in Mogadishu and surrounding areas but offered no evidence of the death. US officials at the time would not confirm Hammami's death.
Hammami attended Daphne High School and The University South Alabama before he moved to Somalia in 2006. In Somalia, Hammami rose through the ranks of Shabaab, a militant group with ties to Al Qaeda. Hammami is believed to be a military commander in the terrorist organization.
