Jamal al-Fadl

Jamal al-Fadl, born in Sudan, was an early member of al-Qaeda, who, in 1996, was a "walk-in" to U.S intelligence. He testified in the 2001 trial of defendants for the 1998 bombing of U.S. Embassies in Africa, and is now in the U.S. Witness Protection Program.

He was reported to have jointed Osama bin Laden, in Pakistan, in 1988.

While in Sudan, he said he witnessed attempts to buy uranium.

Dissatisfied with his compensation, he was reported to have stolen USD $110,000 from al-Qaeda, and, while Osama bin Laden offered forgiveness if he returned the money, he decided to leave Sudan. He came to a U.S. Embassy, believed to be in Nigeria, and offered information.
