An Algerian, Abdel Hakim Tizehga was an alleged member of the Millennium Plot who was arrested ten days after Ahmed Ressam, upon illegally entering the United States from Canada.[1]

Tizegha first traveled to the United States in 1993, as a stowaway aboard a ship docking in Boston. He applied for political asylum, but was denied in 1997, and his appeal failed in 1999.[1]

He moved to Canada and sought refuge while living in Montreal, but sneaked back into the United States later the same year and was arrested.[1]
