ISLAMABAD: Interpol is searching for Mustafa Ahmed Muhammad Uthman Abu Al-Yazid, Al Qaedas chief financial officer and senior adviser to Osama Bin Laden and has alleged that he is hiding in areas adjoining the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, sources told Daily Times on Friday.
In a letter to Pakistani law enforcement agencies including the Federal Investigation Agency, Interpol stated that Mustafa was an Egyptian and was reportedly a close aide of Bin Laden, sources added.
Mustafa had many aliases including Shaykh Said Al-Misri, Mustafa Abu Yazid, Saad Abu Shayama, Mustafa Muhammad Ahmed and Said Uthman, they said.
Interpol had gathered these facts by interrogating a suspect arrested by law enforcement agencies, sources said, adding that the letter did not mention his name. The suspect alleged during interrogation that Mustafa was currently in Pakistans tribal areas, sources added. Interpol wrote that Mustafa was born in Egypt on December 27, 1955, took over Al Qaedas finances and became Bin Ladens senior adviser, sources said, adding that he had also been a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad and was in contact with activists of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.
The letter also stated that Mustafa was on the list of Egyptian, Jordanian, Saudi, Turkish and Pakistani law enforcement agencies and Interpol had asked them to hand over copies of the arrest warrants (if issued) in Mustafas name, sources said. Interpol also wanted these countries to share information on Mustafas whereabouts, sources added.
When contacted, the director general of the Interior Ministrys National Management Crises Cell, Brig (r) Javed Iqbal Cheema, said he was not aware of the development.
I have my pike ready to receive it's crowning display in the den.
Must of been hell when he was a kid:
MUSTAFA! Go to board NOW and write your name 100 times!
I have rather mixed feelings about how much should be published about the suspected whereabouts of one of these killers. Do you suppose publication of material like this might prejudice the search?
Yes if true. Way to much has been reported in the press. Now sometimes there is a "plant" to throw off the hunted. Parley
Thanks for the cartoon. It was really cute.
You all might to write VERY POLITE letters to the editor of the Chitral News.
http://www.chitralnews.com
There is a link at the bottom of the page to the editor:
Email chitralnews@yahoo.com chitralnews@hotmail.com
Address: Fairland Hotel, Ataliq Bazaar Chitral, nwfp, Pakistan
Phone # 92-943-413969, 412579 Cell # 0333 5237640
It is important to be polite and diplomatic. People typically don't want to help jerks who make threats, trash their religion, country, etc.
Their editor is repeating the Pakistani denials that Osama is around Chitral.
The NYT is quoting the CIA that the CIA has bases in NW Pakistan but that Pakistani minders are restricting CIA efforts. I think the CIA has bases in Pakistan. Are the Pakistanis impeding them--I am not so sure this is ttrue, but don't know.
Chitral is a very poor community that wants more tourism--it is a base camp for the Hindu Kush.
Ask them VERY NICELY to please help in the search for Osama. You need to give your name, phone and address to be published in the letters to the editor.
Chitral News has reported that "heavily armed shepherds from Afghanistan" kidnapped a "Pakistani shepherd" and stole his goats. This was depicted as a cross-boarder family feud. Maybe, but it could also be the CIA is disguised as shepherds and is snatching terrorists.
An unidentified American military official has said that Osama my be around Chitral. He could be hiding out and be resupplied by trekkers.
There are also special huts for women who are in labor or having their periods. He could be hiding in one of these huts since Pakistani men might not check them in a search.
