Mohammed Omar Abdel-Rahman (محمد عمر عبدالرحمن) is an Egyptian who is believed to be in United States custody in one of the CIA's "black sites". Also known as "Asadullah" (i.e. The lion of God.)[1]
Human Rights Watch reports he is the son of Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, the "blind sheikh" who was convicted of involvement in the first al Qaeda bombing of the World Trade Center, in 1993.[1] Mohammed is alleged to have run a training camp, and have had a role in planning the 9-11 attacks.
An e-mail from Mohammed led to the capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.[2]
Human Rights Watch reports that Mohammed was captured in February 2003, in Quetta, Pakistan, and remains in US custody.[3]
