Nazih Almalki is a Canadian citizen, born in Syria, who fell under Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) scrutiny following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.[1] Almalki, his brother Abdullah Almalki, Ahmed Said Khadr, Amer El Maati, and three other individuals whose names remain secret had search warrants issued against them on January 22, 2002.
Abdullah Almalki was captured by Syrian authorities, when visiting relatives, in March 2002. He was held for two years, and tortured, using information believed to have been supplied to his Syrian interrogators by RCMP investigators.
One of the triggers for the scrutiny Abdullah Almalki was subjected to was that in the early 1990s he had worked as an aid volunteer for Human Concern International, the same charity that Ahmed Said Khadr worked for. Whatever reasons the RCMP had for scrutinizing Nazih Amalki have not been made public.
It is now widely accepted that Abdullah Amalki never had any ties to terrorism.
