On Thursday 25 September 1997 Saeed Alrobaidi, managing director of Hayel Saeed Anam Group headquarters at PO Box 5302 in Taiz Yemen gave me a security contact name and number in case I had any problems while exploring the city. I noted my contact as ‘Shawki Alariki – 9674 216 301’. Shawki was my misspelling of Sharqawi and Alariki is Arabic for ‘caring leader’, my security contact’s job description. Al Qaeda had a local ‘fixer’ in 1997 Taiz called Abdu Ali Sharqawi; I think they're the same person.
Demand a search of all Intel agency records for the 9674 216 301 phone number, starting with the US NSA’s monitoring of the ‘Al Qaeda switchboard’ in Yemen's capital Sanaa.
Ask the Hayel Saeed Anam Group to positively identify Shawki Alariki and the phone number Saeed Alrobaidi gave me in 1997 Taiz.
