Walid Muhammad Salih bin Mubarak bin Attash (Arabic: وليد محمد صالح بن مبارك بن عتش; born 1978)[7] is a Yemeni prisoner held at the United States' Guantanamo Bay detention camp under terrorism-related charges and is suspected of playing a key role in the early stages of the 9/11 attacks.[8] The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has described him as a "scion of a terrorist family".[9] American prosecutors at the Guantanamo military commissions allege that he helped in the preparation of the 1998 East Africa Embassy bombings and the USS Cole bombing[10] and acted as a bodyguard to Osama bin Laden,[11] gaining himself the reputation of an "errand boy".[12] He is formally charged with selecting and helping to train several of the hijackers of the September 11 attacks.[13]
