Abu al-Walid (ابو الوليد) (also transliterated as Abu al-Waleed and also called Abu al-Walid al-Ghamdi or simply Abu Walid) (1967 – 16 April 2004), was a Saudi-born Arab of the Ghamid tribe who fought as a "mujahid" volunteer in Central Asia, the Balkans, and the North Caucasus. He was killed in April 2004 by the Russian federal forces.
Al-Walid was one of the most prominent Arabs fighting in Chechnya, and took over as Amir (commander) of an autonomous unit composed mostly of non-Chechen mujahideen following the death of its previous commander Ibn al-Khattab on 20 March 2002.
Abu al-Walid was accused by Russians of terrorist attacks on civilians, and "there are allegations that al-Walid is variously an agent of Saudi intelligence, the Muslim Brotherhood, or Bin Laden's al-Qaeda." While al-Walid has neither confirmed nor denied these charges, he has condemned abuses and perceived abuses by Russian forces in Chechnya.
