Farhad Ahmed Dockrat
Farhad Ahmed Dockrat (born February 28, 1959)[1] is a South African cleric and businessman who, in January 2007[2] was listed by the UN Security Council as a terror suspect along with his cousin Junaid Ismail Dockrat for alleged links with the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda.[3] This was at the request of the United States Government who describe he and Dr Junaid Ismail Dockrat as being terrorism "facilitator(s) and terrorist financier(s)". He currently resides in , near Pretoria. The South African Government has requested proof that he and his cousin are indeed involved with Al-Qaeda, but the pair deny the claims, with Farhad saying "I have never paid any money to Al-Qaeda in my life. If one is Muslim and had Muslim concerns at heart, then one is considered a terrorist by the US."[4]
