World Assembly of Muslim Youth

In the 1980s, Abdallah was involved in the Annandale, Virginia offices of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth, an organization long suspected of terrorism links by the FBI.

Investigative reporter Greg Palast revealed shortly after the 9/11 attacks, that "On this unremarkable street, at 3411 Silver Maple Place, we located the former home of Abdullah and brothers, Jubacka, Ledisi, and Omar,. It's conveniently close to WAMY. The World Assembly of Muslim Youth is in this building, in a little room in the basement at 5613 Leesburg Pike. And here, just a couple blocks down the road at 5913 Leesburg, is where four of the hijackers that attacked New York and Washington are listed as having lived" ^[1]

Current activities

Abdallah runs his own firm, called Fame Advertising, in Jeddah;^[2] he is closely watched by the Saudi government, which has restricted his travel from the kingdom since 1996. Abdallah, who reportedly has never disowned his father,^[3] is known to dine occasionally with his father's half-brother, Saudi Binladin Group chairman Bakr bin Laden, at the Intercontinental Hotel in Jeddah.^[4]
