  • Ghanim was an experienced militant who probably acted as a guard for U sam a bin Laden in Afghanistan. He forged relationships with future al-Qa'ida tnembers while fighting for jihadist causes during the 1990s and probably participated in plots against government and Western interests in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. He also associated with several USS COLE plotters and probably left Yemen for Afghanistan around the time of the bombing in October 2000, although there is no evidence that he had a role in the operation. In Afghanistan, he fought for the Taliban against the Northern Alliance, worked for an al-Qa'ida-associated charity, possibly trained to becon1e an al-Qa'ida instructor, and becan1e one of bin Laden's guards.

00063 Mohammad Mani Ahmad al Qahtani
  • Al-Qahtani attempted to enter the United States on August 4, 2001, after almost certainly having been selected by senior al-Qa'ida 1nen1bers to be the 20th hijacker for the 9/11 attacks. He probably understood that he was intended to be used as part of a suicide operation, but he was probably unaware of the specifics of the attack. He was denied entry to the United States by Immigration and Naturalization Service officers who found the circumstances of his travel and his conduct to be suspicious. Around September 2000, he traveled to Afghanistan and received basic and advanced training from al-Qa' ida. He swore allegiance to Usama bin Laden, who told al-Qahtani he would be assigned a special mission. Bin Laden directed hitn to meet with al-Qa' ida's operations chief Khalid Shaykh Mohammad (KSM) (KU-1 0024) in mid-200 1.

Hawsawi provided al-Qahtani with money and a one-way ticket to Orlando, Florida. Mohatned Atta, the tactical leader and hijacker-pilot of 9/11 , was almost certainly waiting at the Orlando International Airport for al-Qahtani's arrival. However, al-Qahtani failed to clear in1migration and was deported back to the UAE. He returned to Pakistan and Afghanistan in August 2001 , separately informing KSM and bin Laden about his failure to enter the US.

  • Al-Shatniri fought in several jihadist theaters and associated with al-Qa'ida members in Afghanistan. He was previously believed to be an al-Qa'ida facilitator or courier, as well as a trainer, but it is now believed these activities were likely carried out by other known extremists with similar names or aliases. Fragmentary reporting links him to fighting in Bosnia in 1995, and he claimed that he fought in Yemen's civil war in 1996 and in Afghanistan for the Tali ban from 2000-2001 -including against the Northern Alliance and US forces- before his capture near Mazar-e-Sharif.

00753 Abdul Zahir

Because of Abdul Bari's efforts to coordinate a shipment of unspecified items on behalf of the Taliban, U.S. military forces targeted a compound in Afghanistan and captured Zahir and recovered suspicious substances initially believed to be chemical or biological agents (but later determined to be benign substances). While Zahir admitted to using the alias Abdul Bari on the phone-a fairly common name in the country-he ultimately provided no actionable information relative to al-Qa'ida's weapons network, and was probably misidentified as the individual who had ties to al-Qa' ida weapons facilitation activities. He probably worked as a bookkeeper and translator from mid-to-late 1995 until late 2001 for al-Qa'ida military commander Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi (IZ-1 0026) and for an Afghan Taliban commander also named Abdul Hadi. He also probably served for a few months in 2002 as a low-level member of a Taliban cell. He may have been recruited to translate in several al-Iraqi-owned guesthouses in Kabul where he probably had limited access to senior leaders from al-Qa'ida and other extremist groups. While Zahir has admitted to working for al-Iraqi and the Taliban, he says that he was coerced to do so under threats to his family's safety and he has denied any direct involvement with the Taliban outside of his role as a translator.69

Obaidullah admitted to working with Karim to acquire and plant anti-tank tnines to target US and other Coalition Forces.

He traveled from Yemen to Afghanistan in mid-2000, where he probably was trained in military tactics at al-Qa'ida's al-Farouq camp. He is one of the Yemen is arrested during the September 11, 2002 raid on an al-Qa'ida safehouse in Karachi, Pakistan. These Yemenis were labelled the "Karachi Six" based on concerns that they were patt of an al-Qa' ida operational cell intended to support a future attack, but it was later determined that the label more accurately reflected the common circumstances of their arrest and the six Yemen is were likely elements of a large pool of Yemeni fighters that senior al-Qa'ida planners considered potentially available to support future operations.

In this role, he probably planned, directed, or conducted multiple attacks against Coalition Forces. He also was probably an al Qa'ida member who took orders from al-Qa'ida leaders in Pakistan, particularly senior paramilitary comtnander Abu Layth al-Libi. Some reporting indicates that he facilitated al Qa'ida members' and foreign fighters' escape from Afghanistan into Pakistan following the onset of Operation Enduring Freedom.

In 2003, Paracha and his US-based oldest son, Uzair, tried to help an al-Qa'ida operative travel to the US-an effort for which Uzair was convicted in November 2005 and is now serving a 30-year sentence in the US. Prior to his detention, Paracha also conducted research on CBRN materials, probably on his own initiative, and offered operational suggestions to al-Qa'ida, including advice on how to smuggle explosives into the US that al-Qa'ida planners probably did not take seriously.83

He fought for Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin (HIG) during the Soviet War in Afghanistan, retained ties to the group thereafter, and probably collaborated with the Taliban and possibly with al-Qa'ida.

In mid-2002, he traveled to the United Arab Emirates, where he joined an al-Qa'ida cell led by senior operational planner Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. He was tasked to smuggle explosives into the UAE to use in an attack against US or British ships docked there. There is no information suggesting he delivered the explosives, but he provided other forms of logistical support before Nashiri abandoned the plot. He has denied that he intended to support the plot, claiming his only interest was in receiving money from Nashiri. He also probably served as a financial facilitator for the Yemen-based al-Qa'ida branch.

  • Al-Hilah entered into extremist circles at a young age and rose to be a prominent extremist facilitator who leveraged his position within the Yemeni Political Security Organization (PSO) to provide refuge and logistical support to extremist groups. Al-Hilah probably learned about terrorist plots against Yemeni and Western interests on n1ultiple occasions through his extremist contacts. During detention, al-Hilah adtnitted to many of these activities. His reported predetention activities suggest that al-Hilah was sympathetic to extremists and driven by a desire for personal position and financial gain. 90

manager of the bon1bing in October 2000 of the USS COLE. The success of the USS COLE operation appeared to have propelled al-Nashiri into a role of greater responsibility. 95 He is currently facing charges before a military con1mission.
