– HOUSNI JAMAL & OTHERS – THE Al-MAGHREBIS
Housni Jamal, a Moroccan citizen, was born on 02/22/1983 in Morocco. Maghreb means in Arabic “The West” and is the common name to the West of North Africa. This is where his nickname “Al MAGHREBI” comes from.
Housni Jamal was arrested in Milan on 11/27/2003 in suspicion that he was a member of Ansar al Islam operating in Milan 03 Cell.
On 09/16/2006 Housni Jamal, along with Mohamed Majid, was convicted for “criminal association with the aim of international terrorism” and was sentenced to 7 years in prison. Housni Jamal was probably a low rank activist in Ansar al Islam network in Europe.
