The man above is Mustafa Setmarian Nasar, believed by Spanish police to be a key organising figure in the 11-M bombings, current whereabouts unknown, and described in the Times article as
A tall man with a pale complexion and flame red hair, Setmarian travelled widely and was often mistaken for a Westerner. He was frequently described as having "Irish looks".
On the more serious side, his being unlocatable means that some form of US secret prison program continues, because while last seen headed into US custody in Pakistan, he is not one of the listed "High Value Detainees" in Guantanamo Bay, whose transfer there was supposed to have emptied the facilities elsewhere that had been part of the extraordinary rendition program. The likely trick being used is that he is being held in a 3rd country without formally being arrested or charged, which would trigger some paperwork that might signal his whereabouts.
UPDATE 27 MARCH: Such as the system for holding Abdul Malik, a new transferee to Gitmo from a Kenyan prison.
