Wadi al Aqiq

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wadi al Aqiq (valley of the brown gem) is the name of a holding company started by Osama bin Laden during the period he was based in Sudan.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

One of the allegations Guantanamo captive Abu Sufian Ibrahim Ahmed Hamuda Bin Qumu faced during his second annual Administrative Review Board hearing was that he worked as a driver for Wadi al Aqiq.[8]
