Fawaz al-Nashimi

Fawaz bin Mohammed al-Nashimi (died June 2004), also known as Turki bin Fuheid al-Muteiry, was a member of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and was identified by the group as the 20th hijacker of the September 11th attacks.^[1]^[2] Born in Saudi Arabia, Nashimi participated in the 29 May 2004 Al-Khobar massacres and successfully escaped Saudi security forces. He was killed by Saudi forces in June 2004.

On June 21, 2006, a US intelligence contractor in Virginia, IntelCenter, released a 54-minute Al-Qaeda video in which Nashimi justifies attacking the Western World. Several days before on June 13, an audio webpost supposedly from Al-Qaeda claimed that Nashimi was to have been the 20th hijacker on United Airlines Flight 93, but was unable to participate at the planned time.
