Feds Investigate Man's Alleged Multiple Identities
Hassan Al-Ali is in federal custody tonight charged with possessing false identification. Over a twelve year period, federal investigators believe Hassan Al-Ali has assumed six different names and lived all over the country including New York, Florida, Washington D.C., South Carolina, Cleveland, and several places in metro Richmond. Investigators also say Al-Ali lived in Bangkok, London, Canada, and Kuwait. In June, The FBI raided Al-Ali's apartment complex on Stuart Circle in Richmond and confiscated conflicting photo I.D.'s, including two Virginia licenses, passports, and student identification cards from VCU and NYU. Some neighbors also claim Al-Ali kept various maps, pictures of monuments, and other suspicious materials in his apartment. Federal investigators are unsure why he's done so much traveling since 1992. Government agents say Al-Ali went by both Hassan Al-Ali and Hassan Mauz Abdullah, among other names. They say he racked up thousands of dollars in debt and had over two thousand dollars wired to him from an embassy in Kuwait.
