Yazid Sufaat, 58, an al-Qaeda operative who helped to set up a laboratory in Afghanistan to cultivate anthrax, had served a string of jail sentences in Malaysia for terror-related offences.
The US-trained biochemist was released in November 2019 after serving the maximum two-year period under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (Pota). He was placed under police surveillance and required to wear an electronic monitoring device.
Yazid is a changed man now, and we all as members of the society should support him
Normah Ishak
Normah Ishak, head of the counterterrorism division in the Malaysian police force’s intelligence arm, said Yazid was removed from surveillance on November 21, 2021, and was now a “free man”.
“As such, he has the right to access the internet, including posting on Facebook and other social media pages,” Normah told This Week in Asia. She added that “we are in touch with him and remain friends.”
During the supervision order, Yazid was barred from going online, but was allowed to use the phone. He was also not allowed to leave his house between 8pm and 6am, although he could receive visitors.
Normah said Yazid now led a “normal life”, spending time with his family, working on his business, and getting involved with charitable activities.
“We are all humans … People can change for the better,” Normah said. “Yazid is a changed man now, and we all as members of the society should support him.”
Yazid graduated from California State University, Sacramento with a bachelor’s degree in biological science and chemistry in 1987.

Yazid Sufaat, with respect to your purchase of 10 tons of ammonium nitrate to blow up the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur, were you ever charged with that?
Is that one of the planned bombings about which Hambali’s lieutenant, is cooperating?
What does he talk about in the video mentioned?

Comment:
Zacarias Moussoui has always been a free spirit but he should provide information not previously known. Otherwise, I’m not sure the 911 plaintiffs would want to risk allying themselves with a loose cannon.
DXer said
In addition to disclosing the strain of anthrax he was using and attempting to load into unidentified weapons, Al Qaeda lab director Yazid Sufaat should explain, to the extent he knows, what Al Qaeda #2 Atef had in mind for Moussaoui and the cropduster plane. (Ayman Zawahiri reported to Atef, Al Qaeda’s military head, on the anthrax program up until a bomb killed Atef in mid-November 2001.)
Yazid Sufaat gave an interview on French TV about Moussaoui’s pilot ambitions.
DXer said
A There was operation, yes, to — to free up the Imam, okay, and the idea was taken from the — the operation where an Indian airliner was highjacked and brought to Kandahar. So that was the idea that — Shaykh Abu Hafs [Atef] and me talk about this, okay, and that’s the main thing, okay.
