Canadian citizen among most wanted by U.S.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- An Egyptian-born Canadian citizen is
on a list of nine al Qaida members most wanted by the United States, The
Washington Post reported Wednesday.
Ahmad Sa'id al-Kadr, or Abu Abdurrahman, operated the Afghanistan
branch of Human Concern International, a Canadian-headquartered charity.
The report said Kadr was detained by Pakistani police in connection
with the November 1995 bombing of the Egyptian Embassy in Islamabad.
During Kadr's prison stay, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien was on
a state visit to Pakistan and discussed Kadr's case with then-Prime
Minister Benazir Bhutto.
Kadr was released a short time later and joined bin Laden in
Afghanistan, The Post said.
The list of al Qaida members most wanted by the United States names
nine Arabs -- five Saudis and four Egyptians.
Osama bin Laden, blamed by the United States for masterminding the
Sept. 11 attacks against New York and Washington, D.C., heads the list.
He is followed by Ayman Zawahiri, an Egyptian physician whom U.S.
investigators consider to be bin Laden's second in command
The list next names Muhammad Atef, a former Egyptian police officer
who was a top aide to Zawahiri in Egyptian Islamic Jihad.
Two other suspects whom little is known other than their Saudi
nationality are Abdul Hadi and Saqr Jaravi, the report said. Bilal bin
Marwan, another Saudi named on the list, is said by U.S. investigators
to be a senior bin Laden lieutenant, but little else is known about him.
