an account in the name of Ibrahim Mohamed Khalil, Yemeni
citizen, dob: January 25, 1972, Yemeni passport number

bank does not have a copy of the passport. The bank account
was opened on November 18, 2003, and received transfers from
abroad until February 11, 2004. No activity since that date.

the Universities on students registered here under that name
