Ahmed Yusuf

Ahmed Ali Yusuf (born November 20, 1974, in Garbaharey, Somalia) is Somali-born Swedish citizen who was listed on the United Nations list of individuals belonging to or associated with the al-Qaeda organisation [cite web

Yusuf was removed from the list on August 24, 2006, when the U.S. dropped all charges against him [cite press release
