Mustafa Al-Ansari

Mustafa Abdulkader Aabed al-Ansari (Arabic: مصطفى عبدالقادر عابد الأنصاري‎, Muṣṭafa ‘Abd al-Qader ‘Abed al-Ānṣarī) (born in Saudi Arabia and identified as a Saudi citizen) became wanted in 2002, by the United States Department of Justice's FBI, which was then seeking information about his identity and whereabouts. He was identified as a known associate of the Yemen cell leader, Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei. He is also the son-in-law of Yemeni al Qaeda operative Ahmad Mohammad Ali al-Hada. In early 2002, he had been named in a suspected Yemen plot, for which he became listed on the FBI's third major "wanted" list, now known as the FBI Seeking Information - War on Terrorism list.

Although he is no longer in the official count of suspects on the "Seeking Information" list, four years later, his photo and name remain archived by the FBI on a group page linked to that "wanted" list. Very little else is known about him.
