The London- based Al-Sharq Al-Awsat daily said that al-Oufi (38 year old) was an officer in the Saudi police. Al-Qaida organization in the Arab Penisula issued no statement on the Internet -- it used to announce from -- to confirm choosing al-Oufi as its leader, who will be then, the fourth leader for the organization in Saudi Arabia. According to the paper, the Saudi security forces killed three men that led al-Qaida organization in Saudi Arabia one by one in the context of its campaign against what it described as extremists. The last of them was Al Muqrin who succeeded the Yemeni, Khaled Ali Al-Haj, who was killed in March 2004. Al-Haj had also succeeded Khalaf Youssef Al- Eiri in leading the organization after his killing in June 2003. According to identical sketches from his CV issued by Arab media, al-Oufi got his preparatory school certificates in al-Madina al-Munawarra and was trained by the Saudi security in 1988 to start working in the Saudi jails sector from which he was fired in 1992. Following that he joined al-Qaida organization in Afghanistan and then, in Bosnia where he was wounded and returned back to Saudi Arabia in 1995 - to be a special official for training, recruitment and logistic support for al-Qaida organization
