My life in al-Qa’eda, by bin Laden’s bodyguard March 30, 2008

By Tim Butcher in Sana’a
He served loyally at the terrorist leader’s side in the build up to the attacks on America and is wanted by the FBI and CIA. Nasser al Bahri speaks to Tim Butcher.
Osama bin Laden is a workaholic who will always be one step ahead of Western intelligence, his former bodyguard has told The Daily Telegraph.
Many have claimed intimate knowledge of bin Laden over the years. But in the case of Nasser al Bahri, a bearded and slightly portly 35-year-old taxi driver who lives in Yemen, the claim is not tainted by exaggeration.
For four years Bahri fought in Afghanistan with al-Qa’eda and served as bodyguard to a man he remembers affectionately as “the Sheikh”.
His experience makes Bahri of intense interest to the FBI and CIA, but they have so far failed to persuade the Yemeni authorities to deport him for questioning.
“The thing I remember most about the Sheikh is that he was very, very active,” said Bahri.
“From the start of the day before dawn when he began his prayers to late at night he was always doing something, never resting. We were not living in a comfortable environment but that did not stop him from all the time working, thinking and planning.
“After prayers came administration and after administration came meetings with distinguished visitors, sometimes secret visitors, but all day he never stopped.”
Here’s an old video clip of an interview with him; it has English Subtitles. Click here for that.
Imaam Anwar al-’Awlaki released! December 25, 2007
Posted by revolution in : News, True Shuyūkh, Yemen , 7 commentsAllahuAkbar! Walhamdullilaah! This is perhaps the best news of the year!
Our Shaykh, Anwar al-’Awlaki (hafidhullah) has been released from the prisons of Yemen. For those who don’t know, Imaam Anwar used to live in the States for some time giving Da’wah and teaching the Ummah. Then he traveled overseas and spread the Haqq regarding Hijrah and Jihaad fe Sabeelillaah in an amazing 15-16 hour lecture series (entitled “The Story of Ibn al-Akwa”) and 6 hour lecture series (entitled, “Constants on the Path of Jihaad”). Imaam Anwar is also known for his other long series on the Sahaabah, the life of the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam) in both Makkah and Madinah, the lives of all the Prophets, and much more. All of his series are in English. Without a doubt, Imaam Anwar is one of the bridges between the Muslims in the West and the classical Islaamic sources which sprouted from the East, feeding us knowledge of the Shuyookh whom we never hear about - such as the Mujaahid Shaykh Yusuf bin Saalih al-’Uyayree, Shaykh Ibn an-Nuhaas and more - because of the cowardly scholars residing in the West. The following is taken from cageprisoners.com -
