“US adds Sudanese al Qaeda operative involved in murder of diplomat to list of terrorists”

By BILL ROGGIO
July 3, 2013

SNIPPET: “The US government has added Abd Al-Ra’Ouf Abu Zaid Mohamed Hamza, an al Qaeda-linked operative who was involved in the murder a US diplomat and his driver in Khartoum in 2008, to the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists. Hamza’s father is a senior cleric in a jihadist group that claimed the attack and is closely tied to al Qaeda in the Sudan.”

SNIPPET: “The murder of Granville and his driver was claimed by both al Qaeda in the Land of the Two Niles and by another Sudanese terror group, Ansar al-Tawhid (Partisans of Monotheism). Al Qaeda in the Land of the Two Niles claimed the attack was part of the global jihad, while Ansar al-Tawhid said it was to halt the spread of Christianity and avenge the humiliation of Muslims.

Hamza’s father is a senior cleric in Ansar al-Tawhid.

US intelligence officials told The Long War Journal that the two groups operate in close coordination and often pool resources and personnel.”
