Narrative and Notes

	Possible	Abu Ghaith taught religion in high school in Kuwait, but was banned from preaching after criticizing the Kuwaiti consitution and opposing U.N. sanctions in Iraq. He has been formally stripped of his Kuwaiti citizenship. He left Kuwait in 2000. During a Summer 2001 disagreement over whether to proceed with the Sept. 11, Abu Ghaith sided with bin Laden and Mohammed Atef over the objections of Abu Hafs the Mauritanian, Shaikh Saiid al-Masri and Saif al-Adel.¹
