Raouf Hannachi

Raouf Hannachi is a Tunisian born Canadian citizen who served as the Muezzin at the Assuna Mosque in Montreal. In October 2001, he was captured by the United States government and transferred to Tunisian officials, where he was subsequently jailed.

Hannachi became a Canadian citizen in 1986 and lived in Montreal with his wife. He was an active member of al-Qaeda and returned from Afghanistan in the summer of 1997 after training for jihad at the Khalden Camp. He shared his experiences with Ahmed Ressam, encouraging him to undergo training, and facilitated Ressam's and Mustapha Labsi's journey to the camp.

During interrogations by American intelligence, Abu Zubaydah, under duress, mentioned Hannachi's name among numerous others as potential conspirators. Despite the casual attitude and boasting of the group, one of its members, Ahmed Ressam, attempted to carry out a terrorist attack on Los Angeles International Airport.
