Saleh Al-Qaraawi (Arabic: صالح القرعاوي) is a Saudi militant Jihadist.[1]
Background[edit]
Al-Qaraawi fought in the Iraqi Insurgency alongside Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.[2] He was a founder of the militant Abdullah Azzam Brigades in 2009, which has carried out a number of attacks in the Middle East.[3] He was identified as the leader of Al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia by Saudi Arabian security officials in a 3 February 2009 list of their 85 most wanted.[1]
In December 2011, the US State Department listed him as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist[2]
Al-Qaraawi was arrested on 9 June 2012 after returning to Saudi Arabia from Pakistan where he had been wounded in a drone strike.[4][5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
