Khaled Abu al-Dahab
Member of al-Qaeda
An Egyptian medical student, Khaled Abu al-Dahab (Abul-Dahab) was arrested and convicted of terrorism. He is alleged to have been a right-hand man to Ali Mohamed, who had been an American Special Forces soldier.
Ali Mohamed travelled north from California with al-Dahab, who later told Egyptian interrogators he had withdrawn US$3,000 from a Californian bank account on orders of Osama bin Laden himself,[1] to offer as bail money to lawyer Phil Rankin.[1] The pair hoped to have Essam Marzouk released and possibly smuggle him into the United States.[2]
In 2002, Abul-Dahab confessed to Egyptian interrogators that he had funded the 1995 attack on the Egyptian Embassy in Pakistan on orders from bin Laden, and had transferred money from a Californian bank account to Pakistan to finance the attack.[1]
