Ahmed Yusuf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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[1]. He was put on the list because of his affiliation with the Somali-based wire transfer network al-Barakat, which the U.S. accused of connections with al-Qaeda. Two other Somali-Swedes, Abdirisak Aden and Abdi Abdulaziz Ali, were also listed for the same reasons.
Yusuf was removed from the list on August 24, 2006, when the U.S. dropped all charges against him[2].
