Abdul Haq (1 October 1971) is a Uyghur who Chinese security officials asserted planned terrorist operations in China.[1][2] He is described as being the "overall leader" of the East Turkistan Islamic Party (ETIP). The United States Treasury reported he took over leadership of the organization in 2003, following the death of its previous leader, and took a seat on al Qaeda's shura, its central committee, in 2005.[1]
