Families Denounce Their Sons
| Friday May 9, 2003
Abdul Wahab Bashir &
Muhammad Al-Harbi A brother of Turki Nasser Mishaal Al-Dandani, 30, said the family had
in the past reported to the authorities that their son went missing and
offered to furnish any information on his whereabouts. Another wanted terrorist, Othman Hadi Al-Amri, 37, left the family
home after Haj in February and has since been missing. His mother, Aisha
Abdullah Al-Amri, said his family were told Othman was killed in Iraq
but they were unable to confirm the news. “He left the house after Haj and we heard he was martyred in Iraq
but we don’t know if the news was true,” the mother was quoted by
Okaz as saying. Othman, who served for a while in the army as sergeant,
married three times but divorced two of his wives. He has five children.
One of Othman’s associates described him as short-tempered and said he
was never known to be a religious man and was seldom seen offering
prayers. He said Othman, who switched jobs frequently, has a criminal
record and was once imprisoned for stealing a car. He has never been to
Afghanistan or Chechnya. Both his mother and wife, Aziza, insisted he was bewitched and
consulted several sheikhs for treatment. No one expected to see the picture of Khaled Al-Johani, 29, since his
name appeared in a videotape distributed by the FBI last year as one of
several people wanted by the American authorities. Khaled first traveled
to Afghanistan when he was 18 and spent three years in Chechnya before
returning to the Kingdom. He was in Afghanistan during the Sept. 11
attacks but left after the fall of the Taleban when he was reported to
have crossed into Pakistan before discreetly returning to Saudi Arabia. |
