In 1996 Ahmed Salim  Swedan was, probably, recruited to Al Qaeda by Mohammed Saddiq Odeh, who was in Mombasa on a recruiting mission. In late 1996 Ahmed Salim Swedan went with Fahid Ally Msalam for training period in Al Qaeda’s camp in Afghanistan.

There were rumors about Ahmed Salim Swedan’s possible arrest in Pakistan in 07/2002, his handing over to CIA and the probability that he is in custody in a “secret jail’ runs by CIA.  All these claims are unsubstantiated.
