--- "Known only by the alias "Abu Doha," the 45-year-old Algerian is set to be released within days, in part because authorities lack enough evidence for prosecuting him successfully"
---- "The Algerian was detained in London in February 2001 in a raid on militants suspected of plotting an attack in Strasbourg, France. U.S. prosecutors charged him with leading a cell that intended to carry out a bomb attack on LAX just before New Year's Day 2000."

August 2, 2007 - Telegraph: Secret evidence keeps terror suspects in UK
-- "The first appeal was brought by a 44-year-old Algerian known by the initial U. After leaving Algeria and claiming asylum in Britain, he spent three years in Afghanistan. Two years ago, the then home secretary sought to deport him as a risk to national security"
-- "SIAC upheld the home secretary's conclusion that BB was a danger to national security. But yesterday the Court of Appeal allowed his appeal on secret grounds. "For the reasons set out in our closed judgment, and on the case as a whole, we are persuaded that the case should be remitted to SIAC for further consideration," the three judges said."
-- "The third case involved an Algerian, known as Y, who was given leave to remain in Britain in 2001. He stood trial with four others at the Old Bailey from 2004 to 2005 in the so-called ricin trial. Y was acquitted of conspiracy to murder but one of the accused, Kamel Bourgass, was convicted of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance."

1998: "That summer, Doha, the Algerian ringleader, visited bin Laden at his base in Kandahar. Doha said he had a newly trained cell of Algerians, based in Montreal, that would be available to cross into the United States and wage jihad."
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/news/nation-world/terroristwithin/chapter8.html
--- "Haydar Abu Doha, a London-based Algerian known as "the Doctor," was instrumental in this reorganization. Abu Doha moved to the UK in 1999 after serving as a senior official in a Qaeda Afghan terrorist camp. Doha was one of the first to encourage the GSPC to split from the GIA and he helped recruit new terrorists from the large base of disenfranchised Algerian youth in Europe's cities, especially in France. (Algerians to have been among the most numerous militants at al Qaeda's terrorist training camps in Afghanistan before the war.) Many of these new adherents were involved in petty crimes such as car theft, credit-card fraud, and document forgery; and their earnings were now channeled to finance terrorist operations"
