Obama Frees Osama Bin Laden Favorite Trained As Sniper To Saudi Arabia

by Daniel Greenfield: With the Saudis in the news, for all the wrong reasons, Obama picked a really bad time to send Saudi Arabia a shipment of Nine piping hot fresh Al Qaeda terrorists from Gitmo to be redeployed in Yemen.

On that list is Ahmed Yaslam Said Kuman. Kuman isn't the most important Al Qaeda terrorist we have in custody. But he was a particular favorite of Osama bin Laden.Detainee is assessed to be a member of al-Qaida with close ties to the Bin Laden family, possibly serving as a UBL bodyguard.

Yasin Muhammad Salih Mazeeb Basardah, ISN US9YM-000252DP (YM-252) stated detainee told him detainee was a personal friend to UBL's son Muhammad, and UBL treated detainee like one of his own sons. Detainee further informed YM-252 detainee had access to UBL at any time due of this relationship, and that he moved around quite a bit and had a lot of freedom to carry out his responsibilities.Considering the structure of Saudi society, that would create extra incentive to extract Kuman from US custody.

But aside from Bin Laden's fondness for Kuman, he was rated as "a HIGH risk, as he is likely to pose a threat to the US, its interests, and allies."Sharqawi Abdu Ali al-Hajj, aka (Riyadh the Facilitator), ISN PK9YM-001457DP (YM-1457), reported detainee was a friend of Husayn Muhammad Salih Bin Attash, the brother of Walid Muhammad Salah Bin Attash, ISN US9YM-010014DP (YM-10014). 27 (Analyst Note: Members of the Attash family are among the most notorious al-Qaida operatives. YM-10014 is linked to the 1998 bombings in Kenya, was involved in the planning of the 11 September 2001 attack, and assisted those involved in the October 2000 USS COLE bombing off the Yemen coast.)

Detainee admitted training with the AK-47 and PK machine gun in a camp near Kandahar. 43 ? (S//NF) YM-252 reported detainee trained at al-Faruq Training Camp in April 2001, and participated in advanced commando training in Kandahar. Training consisted of rappelling, sniper training, kidnapping, assassinations, poisons, and explosives. Muhammad al-Masri conducted the training. 44 (Analyst Note: YM-252 reported detainee was armed with an RPG launcher in Tora Bora. 45 It is unlikely detainee would be given this weapon without adequate training. The RPG was taught at al-Faruq as part of al-Qaida basic training.) (S//NF) When discussing the Kandahar Airport Advanced Training Camp, YM-252 stated the training included communications, explosives, kidnapping, and killing.Training in kidnapping, sniper attacks and poisons. Sure, let's send him off on his merry way.
