Who is Ali Saed Bin Ali El-Hoorie?

Ali Saed Bin Ali El-Hoorie is wanted by the United States government in connection with the June 25, 1996 attack on the Khobar Towers complex near Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. He was indicted by a grand jury in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on June 21, 2001 on 46 separate criminal counts including murder for his role in the attack. He was identified as the passenger in the bomb truck, which was driven to the complex by Ahmed Ibrahim Al-Mughassil, and which was then abandoned by both men as they fled to waiting cars minutes before the bomb truck blew up.

Months after his 2001 indictment in the 1996 attack, El-Hoorie, still a U.S. fugitive, was then placed on the initial list of the FBI's top 22 Most Wanted Terrorists, which was released to the public by President Bush on October 10, 2001.

El-Hoorie is very short at only 157 cm, 59 kg. He has a mole on his face. He is also known as Ali Saed Bin Ali Al-Houri.

He is alleged to be a member of the pro-Iran Saudi Hizballah, or Hizballah Al-Hijaz, meaning Party of God, being led by Al-Mughassil.
