Two days prior to the 1998 United States embassy bombings , Shehata was again contacted by Jaballah , and hours before the bombing happened Mabruk phoned Jaballah and asked him to get Eidarous to call him on Shehata 's cell phone , and Jaballah passed on the message . The day after the bombings , Mabruk told Jaballah that he and Shehata were leaving Azerbaijan and that they should break off all contact now ; but Shehata phoned Jaballah a short time later and informed him that he 'd moved to Lebanon , but did n't have a phone in his new location . He never again contacted Jaballah , The Associated Press later stated that he had been again sentenced to death '' in absentia '' in 1998
