Dahabshiil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dahabshiil is an international funds transfer company.[1]
Dahabshiil is notable because Guantanamo detainee Mohammed Sulaymon Barre, a Dahabshiil agent, was detained because the phone number of his home-office in Pakistan was found on a list in the possession of someone suspected of association with the al Wafa orgranization.[2] Al Wafa was a charity that Americn intelligence analysts allege secretly funded al Qaeda.
During his Combatant Status Review Tribunal Barre, a Somali, testified that Dahabshiil was initially founded to serve Somali expatriates.
During his Combatant Status Review Tribunal Barre's Personal Representative produced printouts from the Dahabshiil website, confirming Barres' account that Dahabshiil was a legitimate organization which continued to operate in the USA, and was fully compliant with the law and sensible business precaustions. The Dahabshiil web-site currently has a prominent anti-money-laundering policy.[3]
