Mohamed Abul-Khair

Background According to Asharq Alawsat Mohamed Abu-al-Khayr had "established ties with 9/11 hijacker Ramzi Bin al-Shaiba". They report he: "is currently believed to be in the Iranian-Afghan-Pakistani triangle."

On August 24, 2010, the Long War Journal reported that both the United States and United Nations had entered "Muhammad Abdallah Hasan Abu al Khayr" on their lists of terrorist suspects whose financial assets should be frozen, world-wide. The Long War Journal describes him as "a top financial official in the terror organization." The United Nations 1267 list was established by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267, in 1999, but is regularly updated, with new individuals being added as needed, and with defectors, or individuals known to have died being removed. The United States list was established by United States President George W. Bush's Presidential Executive Order 13224.

The Long War Journal noted the Treasury called Abu-al-Khayr "a key leader of the terrorist organization's finance section" who "also acts for al Qaeda in a leadership role on the media committee." A letter retrieved from the compound where Bin Laden was killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan confirmed that Abu-al-Khayr was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan on September 18, 2010.
