Samir Saleh Abdullah al-Suwailim (Arabic: سامر صالح عبد الله السويلم; 14 April 1969 – 20 March 2002), commonly known as Ibn al-Khattab or Emir Khattab, was a Saudi Arabian pan-Islamist militant. Though he fought in many conflicts, he is best known for his involvement in the First and Second Chechen War, which he participated in after moving to Chechnya at the invitation of the Akhmadov brothers. The origins and real identity of Khattab remained a mystery to most until after his death, when his brother gave an interview to the press. Read more on Wikipedia
