Under the kunya Abu Asim, Abdulrahman was believed to have led an Egyptian militant group that allied itself with the World Islamic Front as of 1998.[2]
In early November 2001, the Taliban government announced they were bestowing Afghan citizenship on him, as well as bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Saif al-Adel and Mohammed Atef.[3]
