Interpol alleges senior Bin Laden adviser hiding in tribal areas

* Asks Pakistani law enforcement agencies to share information about his whereabouts

By Shahzad Malik

ISLAMABAD: Interpol is searching for Mustafa Ahmed Muhammad Uthman Abu Al-Yazid, Al Qaeda’s 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, Sa’ad 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 Pakistan’s tribal areas, sources added. Interpol wrote that Mustafa was born in Egypt on December 27, 1955, took over Al Qaeda’s finances and became Bin Laden’s 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 Mustafa’s name, sources said. Interpol also wanted these countries to share information on Mustafa’s whereabouts, sources added.

When contacted, the director general of the Interior Ministry’s National Management Crises Cell, Brig (r) Javed Iqbal Cheema, said he was not aware of the development.

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?
