Al-Qahtani, a high-school graduate from southern Saudi Arabia, is thirty-years-old and has a son named Mohammad. Al-Qahtani is wanted by Saudi authorities on terror-related security charges. Six Al-Qaeda detainees provided this information to Yemeni security forces after they were arrested in July.
The sources said Al-Qahtani is responsible for the financing of several terrorist operations targeting Yemeni facilities as well as major sectors, including the attack on Spanish tourists in mid-July.
The sources said that Al-Qahtani has not taken part in the operation but that he was taking refuge, along with two other members of the network, in a mountain shelter adjacent to the Obaidah tribe area close to the Yemeni border with Saudi Arabia.
In a message titled “Come to Yemen” posted in March on Al-Qaeda.
Web sites, Naif Al-Qahtani called on Al-Qaeda agents present in Saudi Arabia to move to Yemen and that he would worry about financing their move.
