The Office of the Director of National Intelligence described him as a "scion of a terrorist family".〔 〕 American prosecutors at the Guantanamo military commissions allege that he helped in the preparation of the 1998 East Africa Embassy bombings and the USS ''Cole'' bombing and acted as a bodyguard to Osama bin Laden,〔 gaining himself the reputation of an "errand boy".〔 He is formally charged with selecting and helping to train several of the hijackers of the September 11 attacks.〔MSNBC, (Pentagon charges 6 in 9-11 attacks )〕 Attash was given victim status in Poland for his alleged torture by Americans in a CIA black site on Polish soil.〔http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2014/feb/06/poland-may-seek-access-to-guantanamo-suspects/〕 ==Life== Hailing from a prominent Saudi family on friendly terms with Osama bin Laden,〔CNN, (Arrests amid Karachi terror plot ), May 3, 2003〕 Attash had several brothers fighting during the tumultuous 1990s in Afghanistan.〔Burger, Timothy J. TIME, (Profiling the Terrorists ), September 6, 2006〕 His family was deported from Yemen based on his father's radical views, and he grew up in Saudi Arabia.〔Bell, Stewart. "The Martyr's Oath", 2005.〕 He studied at the University of Islamic Studies in Karachi, Pakistan.〔CSRT Summary of Evidence memo for Walid bin Attash, February 8, 2007〕 Attash lost his right leg in 1997 while fighting against the Northern Alliance and wore a metal prothesis in its place,〔Wright, Lawrence, The Looming Tower, 2006〕〔 leading to the nickname "''Father of the Leg''".〔 His brother was killed in the same battle, and his death led Attash to join al-Qaeda.〔 He was asked to help obtain explosives to target the USS The Sullivans in 1999, as part of the intended 2000 millennium attack plots.〔 In late 1999 while using the nom de guerre ''Khallad'', Attash phoned Khalid al-Mihdhar, informing him of the upcoming Kuala Lumpur al-Qaeda Summit. In January 2000, Attash flew to Malaysia, ostensibly to receive a new prosthetic leg, and attended the summit. On January 8, Malaysian Special Branch informed the CIA that Attash had flown to Bangkok together with al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi. While there, the FBI received a transcript of a phone call from Fahd al-Quso and one of the bombers, which mentioned giving Attash $5000 to purchase a new prosthesis. During later interrogation, al-Quso confessed that he was handing over $36,000, and that it wasn't actually meant to purchase a prosthesis.〔 In October 2000 Attash was identified as the mastermind behind the USS ''Cole'' bombing which took place in Aden, Yemen. On September 11, 2002, his 17-year-old brother Hassan bin Attash was taken prisoner by Pakistani forces raiding the Tariq Road House, handed over to the Americans and sent to The Dark Prison.〔 〕 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「Walid bin Attash」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
