Amar Makhlulif alias Abu Doha ((アラビア語:ابو ضحى)) is an Algerian alleged to be member of the al-Qaeda and GSPC terrorist networks. He was arrested at London Heathrow Airport in February 2001 while attempting to travel to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on a forged passport.〔(US indictment of Abu Doha ), 2 July 2001〕〔('Architect of terror' held in British jail cell ), ''The Telegraph'', 9 January 2003〕 On 3 July 2008 the British bench released him from prison, under several security measures including a 22-hour-per-day curfew. Although the British press was forced to identified him only as "U", the other data about "U" identifies him clearly as Abu Doha.〔(U.K. releases 2nd suspect linked to bin Laden )〕 ==Wanted Status== Makhlulif is wanted in France〔 for being one of the masterminds of the Strasbourg cathedral bombing plot in Strasbourg, France. Another plotter, Slimane Khalfaoui, was picked up in the UK and extradicted to France, where he was convicted and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.〔(France Convicts Islamic Militants ), ''AP'', 16 December 2004〕 Four more of Abu Doha's affiliates have been sentenced in Frankfurt, Germany to terms of from 10 to 12 years for that plot.〔(Germany Sends 4 To Prison In New Year's Plot ), SITE, quoting ''Chicago Tribune'', 11 March 2003〕 In reading the sentence, the judge said that Abu Doha had exhorted them to commit that attack. Makhlulif is wanted in the United States, having been identified by Ahmed Ressam as the leader of the plot to bomb the Los Angeles airport during Christmas and millennium celebrations.〔〔 Makhlulif is wanted in Italy over a plot to bomb the American embassy in Rome, in collaboration with al-Qaeda's cell in Milan, Italy.〔 Makhlulif is alleged to have been an Al-Qaeda recruiter, and a trainer at, or even the founder of, al-Qaeda's Khalden training camp in Afghanistan,〔(Abu Doha ), MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base〕 and at least a cell leader in GSPC. Makhlulif is described in some reports〔(Al-Qaeda's bombers used Britain to plot slaughter ), ''The Guardian'', 21 April 2002〕〔(Advanced Knowledge Integration In Assessing Terrorist Threats ), Air War College, US Air Force; an academic study of al-Qaeda in Europe〕 as the "paymaster" of al-Qaeda's London component. "Makhlulif" is the name by which this person identifies himself to British immigration authorities.〔 It could be a false name or an erroneous transliteration of مخلوف, which is pronounced more like "Makhlouf". Two press reports ((here ) at BBC Arabic News and (here ) at Asharq Alawsat) do refer to Abu Doha as Amar Makhlouf. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abu Doha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
