Saeed and Masoud Rasoul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in Iraq, Saeed Sobrahatollah Muhammad Rasoul and Masoud Rasoul are brothers who moved to Canada in 1990 and were granted Canadian citizenship before settling down in North York, Ontario.[1] They are alleged to have joined Ansar al-Islam, and went missing in northern Iraq in 2003.[2]
Members of Salaheddin Mosque, it is alleged they may have been recruited to fight in Iraq by director Hassan Farhat.[2]
Saeed is a graduate of Seneca College, and alleged to have been a "computer expert" for Anser al-Islam.[3]
Masoud's Canadian driver's license SIN card and his Mountain Equipment Co-op membership card were found by American troops following an attack on an Ansar stronghold. [3][1]
On March 7 2005, Saeed and Hassan Farhat were named by CSIS Director Jim Judd in remarks to the Canadian Senate, that Farhat "is believed to be a key commander and ideologue with" Ansar al-Islam and that Saeed was "believed to be a member".[1]
