Khalid Abd al-Rahman Hamd al-Fawwaz (Arabic: خالد عبد الرحمن حامد الفوز; kunya: Abu Omar al-Sebai (Arabic: أبو عمر السبيعي); born 24 or 25 August 1962)[1] is a Saudi who was under indictment in the United States from 1998,[2] accused of helping to prepare the 1998 United States embassy bombings.
[3] Al-Fawwaz appeared on the UN 1267 Committee's list of individuals belonging to or associated with al-Qaeda,[4] and was embargoed as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
He was appointed by Osama bin Laden as the first head of the media organ called the Advice and Reform Committee in London, where he met Adel Abdel Bari and Abu Qatada, amongst others.
[12][13] Six months after the arrests, British Muslims staged a demonstration in front of 10 Downing Street to protest against the continued incarceration of the seven men.
[14] L'Houssaine Kherchtou, testifying for the United States, claimed that al-Fawwaz had been the leader of an "Abu Bakr Siddique camp", which he contradictingly placed in Hayatabad, Pakistan, or Khost, Afghanistan.
