Additionally, Abd al-Khaliq arranged the transportation of fighters, money, and material to LIFG camps in South Asia.
In January 2007, Abd al-Khaliq was arrested in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on charges of being a member of Al-Qaida and the LIFG. Following his conviction in the UAE in late 2007, Abd al-Khaliq was transferred in early 2008 to Bahraini custody to serve out the remainder of his sentence.
