Ahmed al-Hada

The Al Qaeda Communications hub in Yemen is run by Ahmed al-Hada, father-in-law of 9/11 hijacker Khalid Almihdhar.

It is located in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a, in the neighbourhood of Madbah.

Future 9/11 hijacker Khalid Almihdhar also lives at the house at some point in the late 1990s with his wife Hoda, al-Hada’s daughter.

After 9/11, both the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry and the 9/11 Commission examine the NSA’s intercepts of various calls made by the hijackers to the al-Qaeda communications hub.
