Delete I have done a search in Arabic and found that there is a lot of coverage of Haitham Kassem al-Tahir who is a former defence minister and who is still very active and is definitely notable. He has an ar.wiki article with no English equivalent. It seems he is so well-known that he is sometimes referred to just as Haitham al=Kassem rather than with his full name. However I'm pretty sure that the subject of this stub article is not the same person. Of the two sources in the current article one looks like it's dead and the other is just a passing mention. All of the other hits I've got in my search are to the former defence minister and not to this guy, so I think it's safe to conclude he's not notable.
