NEW YORK, NY—The FBI is seeking information on Hamza Al Ghamdi, a Saudi Arabian national wanted for questioning in connection with his involvement in Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization responsible for the attacks on September 11, 2001. Al Ghamdi is known to have participated in armed conflict zones, including Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and held significant roles within the Al Qaeda network.

“We have not forgotten,” said Christie M. Curtis, Acting Assistant Director in charge of the FBI’s New York City Field Office. “Twenty-three years later, the FBI is still seeking justice for the victims of the September 11th attacks by continuing to seek those who desire to harm us. ”

Al Ghamdi was a close associate of Usama bin Laden, serving as a trusted member of his security detail in the period leading up to the September 11 attacks. He also operated Al Qaeda guesthouses near Kabul, Afghanistan, providing logistical support to the organization’s members. Additionally, Al Ghamdi worked alongside the late senior Al Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri, embedding himself within the core of the terrorist group’s operations.

Al Ghamdi also uses these names: Salih Saeed Albitaih Alghamdi, Hamza Salih Bin Sa'id Al-Ghamdi, Hamza Al Ghamidi.

Anyone with information regarding Hamza Al Ghamdi is urged to contact their local FBI office, the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. The FBI remains committed to bringing those responsible for terrorism to justice and urges the public to assist in this ongoing effort.

The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice Program recently announced a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to the apprehension of Hamza Al Ghamdi.
