释义

  1. References

Riyadh, alternately Riad, alternately Riyadh the facilitator, is a pseudonym that was given to a number of individuals who were suspected to be member of al-Qaeda. American intelligence officials and the press used the pseudonym for at least two individuals.[1][2][3]

In an interview with National Public Radio

Douglas Cox, a law Professor at City University of New York

stated that one of his clients who was a Guantanamo detainee, Riyadh al-Haigh,

was suspected by American intelligence officials of being Riyadh the facilitator.[4]

Human rights groups, and other media used the pseudonym in connection with a man who was held in the CIA network of clandestine interrogation centers. Human Rights Watch identified the man as Abdul Rahim al-Sharqawi and other media identified him as Abdu Ali Sharqawi.[5]

Human Rights Watch continued to believe he was held in CIA custody into 2005.[6]

According to an article published in US News and World Report in May 2003 a man called

Riyadh was "responsible for managing al Qaeda's affairs in Pakistan".[7]

They reported he was captured in Karachi in January 2002. They reported that he was the first senior al Qaeda member to be captured, and that his capture lead to a chain of captures that included Abu Zubaydah, Jose Padilla, Omar al Farouq, and Ramzi bin al-Shibh. Some of their findings are based on unnamed intelligence sources.
