Yusuf Abdi Ali, also known as Col. Tukeh, is alleged to have tortured, killed and maimed hundreds of people under Somalia's then-dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.
A Somali national accused of leading mass executions and torturing people during his country's bloody civil war in the 1980s has been working as a security guard at the Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C,
passing through all TSA and FBI checks for the past six years.
Yusuf Abdi Ali, who is living in Alexandria, Virginia, was discovered by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, according to
Fox 5.
Ali had been through the full, federally mandated vetting process required to obtain an airport badge, officials said.
Since the revelation, Ali has been placed on administrative leave, and his airport access has been revoked. Airport officials said that they are aware the Somali native was named in a lawsuit filed by a human rights group in 2006 for crimes against humanity. According to
CNN, the case has faced several appeals and is headed to the Supreme Court.
