Allegedly an al-Qaeda agent, Hassan Ghul ((アラビア語:حسان غول)) born Mustafa Hajji Muhammad Khan,〔http://www.treasury.gov/press-center/press-releases/Pages/tg1289.aspx〕 was also identified as a member of Ansar al-Islam.〔 〕 His nationality was reported as Saudi Arabian,〔http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2012/sc10578.doc.htm〕 Yemeni,〔 〕〔 〕 Pakistani〔〔 〕 or Egyptian.〔 〕〔 〕 His testimony was a critical factor in identifying the secret location of Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad. Captured by Kurdish anti terror and turned over to American forces in 2004, Ghul was stated to have been as lowly as a "courier" who ran packages and delivered letters for al-Qaeda members. Ghul held such high ranks as "top lieutenant", "second-in-command" or "trusted emissary" of everyone from Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to Osama bin Laden to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. He was held at a CIA black site for two years, before being turned over to a Pakistani prison system.〔(Testimony of Rangzieb Ahmed )〕 It was during this time of detainment by the CIA in early 2004, but before he was subjected to "enhanced interrogation" techniques, that Ghul listed al-Kuwaiti as a close associate of bin Laden. CIA records show that Ghul was not the first source of the name "al-Kuwaiti," which was also provided in 2002 by another detainee, Abu Zubair al-Ha'ili, who was being held by a foreign government. Intelligence agents intercepted a satellite phone call 〔(Bin Laden bodyguard's satellite phone calls helped lead US forces to hiding place )〕 made by Osama bin Laden's bodyguard in 2010 which led to the surveillance of a courier that in turn led intelligence operatives to Osama bin Laden's compound.〔(Phone Call by Kuwaiti Courier Led to Bin Laden )〕 Ghul was killed by a CIA drone strike in North Waziristan in October 2012.〔(Documents reveal NSA’s extensive involvement in targeted killing program )〕 ==History== Ghul was first mentioned in the 9/11 Commission, where he was stated to have led three people, including Mushabib al-Hamlan, to a waypoint controlled by Abu Zubaydah.〔(911 Commission: Notes to Chapter 7 ), ''911 Commission''〕 He was captured on January 23, 2004〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title=List of "Ghost Prisoners" Possibly in CIA Custody )〕 by Kurdish anti terror, possibly associated with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan,〔 〕 at a checkpoint near Kalar, at the Iranian border after police sent a fax to American CIA officials to confirm his photograph. There are contradicting claims that he was caught ''entering'' Iraq to bring al-Zarqawi money and bomb schematics〔 〕 or that he was caught ''leaving'' Iraq bringing al-Zarqawi's progress report on successful suicide bombings into Iran.〔 Ghul was carrying a USB flash drive and two CDs, one allegedly including a 17-page progress report believed to have been written by al-Zarqawi, claiming responsibility for suicide attacks in Iraq. US Intelligence officials have contradicted the accepted story, stating that the progress report was instead found in an abandoned safehouse in Baghdad.〔 〕〔 〕 In addition, the US military provided the media with "photocopies of the original handwritten Arabic letter" which were then translated, muddying the claim that it had been a computer document.〔 〕 A notebook in his satchel also revealed a number of names and phone numbers of suspected associates.〔 〕 Kurdish forces immediately turned Ghul over to the American military, and he was interrogated while still in the country.〔〔 〕 Although he may have been cooperative with the military interrogation, his questioning revealed little. 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「Hassan Ghul」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
