Abdullah Anas

Abdullah Anas was the nom de guerre of Boudjema Bounoua who was an Algerian scholar, who helped Afghanistan mujahideen fight the Soviet and Afghan government forces in the northern provinces from 1983 to 1992.

Anas met Ahmed Khadr in 1984 and described him as "not a man of fighting, not a man of jihad, just a man of charity work aid".

He was interviewed for the Adam Curtis documentary The Power of Nightmares, which aired in 2004.

He has been granted political asylum to live in London, England.
