(October 2009) An alleged member of al-Qaeda, Sayed Tayib al-Madani (also Abu Fadhl al-Makkee,[1] Sidi Tayyib[2]) was said to have served on the initial Shura council of the group,[3] and to have been a financial overseer who had to approve any expenditure over $1000 while the group was organising itself in the Sudan.[4] Early activity A veteran of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, al-Madani lost part of his lower leg during a battle.[5] He began running operations at Taba farms, where he sold sugar, palm oil and soap from approximately 1991.[6] By 1993, he was acting as the Chief Financial Officer of al-Qaeda in the Sudan, and was noted instructing a member to travel through Baku, Azerbaijan to reach Chechnya to aid Ibn Khattab.[7] According to the testimony of Jamal Fadl, who claimed to share a Bank Shmal account with al-Madani, al-Madani was involved in a 1993 pursuit of nuclear weapons for the organisation and claimed to have found a source for uranium and asked Fadl to pass on his requisition for $1.5 million.[6] Fadl also claimed that al-Madani had an account with Barclay's Bank in England.[6] Approximately two years later, he also arranged the transport of Mujahideen to support Ibn Khattab's arrival in Chechnya.[6] Arrest In May 1997, al-Madani turned himself in to Saudi authorities in 1997, and was subsequently arrested.[8] American efforts to interrogate him were rebuffed by the Saudis,[9] and he was pardoned the same year in exchange for his cooperation.[4][10] In September 1998, after al-Madani had already been released, Vice President Al Gore met with Crown Prince Abdullah, and again repeated the request for access.[9] Some have suggested that he was thereafter targeted for assassination by the National Islamic Front. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, Fox News reported that "the west" had recruited al-Madani post-1998.[11] References ^ Jamal al-Fadl testimony, United States vs. Osama bin Laden et al, trial transcript, Day 2, Feb. 6, 2001 ^ Davies, Hugh.
