A Jordanian man tagged as a former henchman of Osama Bin Laden’s brother-in-law was arrested in Mindanao and will be deported by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) for illegally entering the country.
Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said 51-year-old Mahmoud Afif Abdeljalil is now in government custody following his arrest last month by joint operatives of the BI, military, and police in Zamboanga City.
Morente stated that Abedeljalil assumed a fictitious name which enabled him to reside in the country. When he was arrested 16 years ago, the BI said the Jordanian served as the point man of Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, a Saudi businessman and Bin Laden’s brother-in-law, in managing several charity organizations in Mindanao that funneled money to Al Qaeda and the Abu Sayyaf Group.
