Death
On July 12, 2005, around 2 a.m., Yahya was shot and killed at his house by a group of roughly 10 assassins, wearing masks or scarves around their faces, used a ladder to scale the back wall of his compound. To find their way in the dark, they had flashlights tied to the barrels of their Kalashnikovs. Yahye guards, some of them sleeping, were taken by surprise and handcuffed. The killers entered the house, which apparently was unlocked. Some of the men made their way to a second-floor bedroom and woke Yahya and his wife. They demanded valuables and took Yahye's laptop. Then they led Yahya to a corridor where they executed him. First, they shot him several times with an AK-47, then two or three more times to the mouth and head with a pistol. The Al-qaeda linked Shabaab group was alleged the killing of Yahya.
