Khartoum, Sudan – The United States notes with concern the April 5 early release of Qusai al-Jaili, who was convicted as an accomplice in the prison escape of four men sentenced to death for the 2008 murders of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) employees John Granville and Abdelrahman Abbas Rahama.



Sudanese courts tried and convicted five men in connection with these murders. One was convicted on lesser charges and served a lesser penalty. The other four were convicted of murder and sentenced to death, but escaped from prison in 2010 with the assistance of Qusai al-Jaili. A Sudanese police officer was killed during the escape.



We always will mourn the deaths of John Granville, Abdelrahman Abbas Rahama, and the Sudanese police officer. They were murdered while working for peace and stability in Sudan, and we honor their memory and their families. We will continue to closely follow the details of all who were involved in this act of terror.



We urge the Government of Sudan, not only to fulfill its previous assurances to hold accountable those involved, but to take all necessary steps to ensure that the murderers, and those who assisted them, will not conduct further acts of violence and terrorism against innocent people.



Two of the killers remain at-large and one remains incarcerated in Sudan. The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice Program has authorized rewards of up to $5 million each for information leading to the capture of the two men still at-large, Abdelbasit Alhaj Alhasan Haj Hamad and Mohamed Makawi Ibrahim Mohamed. The U.S. Department of State designated these two men under Executive Order 13224, which targets terrorists and those providing support to terrorists or acts of terrorism.
