Liban M. Hussein (Somali: Liibaan Xuseen, Arabic: ليبان حسين; born in Somalia) is a Canadian entrepreneur and businessman. He was a stakeholder in the Al-Barakat money transfer firm. In November 2001, Hussein was arrested at the request of the United States government, which accused him of supporting terrorism through the company. His assets were also frozen. Hussein was eventually exonerated of the charges and released, after a court found that neither the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) nor the U.S.A authorities were able to provide any evidence of terrorist links.[1][2] In February 2012, all charges against the Al-Barakat Group of Companies were also dropped.[3]
