![]() ![]() There are contradicting claims that he was caught entering Iraq to bring al-Zarqawi money and bomb schematics or that he was caught leaving Iran bringing al-Zarqawi's progress report on successful suicide bombings into Iraq. He was captured on Janu by Kurdish security forces at a border crossing to Iran near Kalar after they confirmed Hassan's identity with a photograph emailed to CIA officials. Ghul was mentioned in the 9/11 Commission report, where he was stated to have led three people, including Mushabib al-Hamlan, to a guesthouse run by Abu Zubaydah. Ghul was born around 1977 in either Madinah, Saudi Arabia or the village of Sangrar, Sindh, Pakistan. Ghul was killed by a CIA drone strike in North Waziristan in October 2012. In 2006, Ghul was transferred to the custody of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, which released him in 2007. CIA records show that Ghul was not the first source of the name "al-Kuwaiti," which was also provided in 2002 by another detainee, Abu Zubair al-Ha'ili, who was being held by a foreign government. It was during this time of detainment in early 2004, but before he was subjected to torture, that Ghul listed al-Kuwaiti as a close associate of bin Laden. He was held at a CIA black site for two years. Ĭaptured by Kurdish Peshmarga forces in Iraqi Kurdistan and turned over to American intelligence in early 2004, Ghul was said to have served as anywhere from a courier who delivered messages for al-Qaeda members to a high-ranking associate of either Osama bin Laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, or Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. He was designated by the Al-Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committee of the Security Council in 2012. Ghul was an ethnic Pashtun whose family was from Waziristan. Hassan Ghul ( Arabic: حسان غول), born Mustafa Hajji Muhammad Khan (August 1977 - 1 October 2012), was a Saudi-born Pakistani member of al-Qaeda who revealed the kunya of Osama Bin Laden's messenger, which eventually led to Operation Neptune Spear and the death of Osama Bin Laden. ![]() Mustafa Hajji Muhammad Khan (birth name), The GatekeeperĬourier to high ranking commander in Al-Qaeda ![]()
