en Children of the Jihad Mary Anne Weaver w:The New Yorker https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1995/06/12/children-of-the-jihad 1995-06-05 Abdul Basit’s life as one of America’s most-wanted men came to an end almost as suddenly as it began. His alleged co-conspirators in the World Trade Center bombing had implicated “Ramzi Yousef” when they were arrested, and the F.B.I. had on several occasions laid elaborate plans to capture him in Pakistan, but each time he had been alerted and had disappeared, either into Karachi’s un derground or across the border into Afghanistan. https://web.archive.org/web/20160418225255/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1995/06/12/children-of-the-jihad
Usage notes
This is not based on a name used independently in Arabic, but a transliteration of Arabic for "servant of the", to be followed by one of the 99 names, or epithets, of Allah; e.g., Abdullatif. Both the epithet Latif ('the All-gentle') and the whole name Abdullatif ('servant of the All-gentle') are given to Muslim men. Women receive the feminine form of one of God’s epithets, such as Latifa. Abdul is not the same name as Abdullah.
