Mohammed Zeki Mahjoub ((アラビア語:محمد زكي محجوب)) (also ''Abu Ibrahim'',〔 ''Mahmoud Shaker''〔(UNHCR information on Mahjoub and other wanted Egyptians )〕) is an Egyptian-Canadian who was arrested in May 2000 on a security certificate for his alleged membership in the Vanguards of Conquest. Although he has not been charged in Canada,〔Adelman, Howard. (21st Century Sovereignty: Security, Immigration and Refugees )〕 the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has stated that they believe he will "engage in or instigate the subversion by force of the government of Egypt" if allowed free.〔 However, CSIS has refused to provide any public evidence to substantiate its claims. ==Life== Following his graduation from the University of Zagazig in Egypt,〔 Mahjoub says he served in the Egyptian military, but faced persecution and torture from the civil police force due to his "religious beliefs". He stated that he had tried to leave Egypt but was refused by state security; until June 1991 when he applied to leave the country as part of the Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. Following the pilgrimage, he went to the Sudan in August.〔 Mahjoub spent five months looking for work as an agricultural engineer specializing in land reclamation, and believed it was his lack of experience that prevented him from finding a job.〔Mahjoub, Mohammad. Affidavit filed September 6, 2000 in the case ''Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and Mohamed Zeki Mahjoub〕 Eventually he met an unidentified man at a Sudanese mosque and mentioned that he was looking for work .〔 The man worked for an agricultural firm named Al-Thimar al-Mubaraka,〔(Bin Laden WMD chief once lived in B.C. ), ''National Post'', 26 November 2005〕 and secured Mahjoub an interview with Osama bin Laden in Khartoum. Bin Laden met with Mahjoub for 90–120 minutes, and told him that he'd been interviewing other agricultural engineers, but none that specialised in reclamation. He noted Mahjoub's lack of experience, and told him to take a week to study the needs at the Al-Damazin Farms,〔 which included 4,000 seasonal workers tending nearly a million acres (4,000 km²), and then decide whether he felt the job was right.〔 Mahjoub met with Mubarak al-Duri, and agreed to sign on as the project's Deputy General Manager.〔〔 On October 17, 1993, al-Duri wrote Mahjoub a reference letter vouching for his work with the farms in al-Damazin from February 1992 until May 1993.〔Transcript of Proceedings, Volume 9, Between Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and Solicitor General of Canada and Mohamed Zeki Mahjoub, March 5, 2001, p. 852, Exhibit 15〕 Mahjoub says he left the job following an argument about his comparatively low wages compared to other employees in the firm, and that despite his 10-hour shifts he was often asked to work overtime up to 8 hours a day, and that Bin Laden asked some mutual colleagues to offer Mahjoub back his job with a higher salary several times; but that he has had no contact with any of them since leaving the Sudan in 1995.〔〔Affidavit of Mohamed Zeki Mahjoub signed on September 6, 2000, in the Federal Court (Trial Division) between Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and Mohamed Zeki Mahjoub, pp.15-20, paras.39-59.〕 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「Mohammad Zeki Mahjoub」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
