Per 
Special Containment Proceedures: Any sighting of SCP-XXXX are to be logged by RAISA, any sightings in The Middle East are to be noted, but not acted upon as per Document XXXX-A. Any sightings outside of the Middle East are to be reported directly to O5-4, and MTF Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand") is to be dispatched clandestinely to question SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Male Human of Middle Eastern decent. SCP-XXXX shows no signs of physical aging. While SCP-XXXX can be injured by normal weaponry, it won't feel pain and will regenerate body matter at an accelerated rate.
One notable exception to this is Thaumatic weaponry, which can inflict pain, however SCP-XXXX can still recover from these weapons much like normal weaponry.
Due to the Relationship between ORIA and the Foundation, a secure channel of communication must be made available to SCP-XXXX that is easily accessible at all times.
Hello There
You're not supposed to be here, are you? I assume you must have many questions. The biggest one is probably 'Why haven't you contained it?'
After ORIA came into power, the Foundation was essentially cut off from the middle east outside of Israel And while we did slowly make our way back in over the coming decades, we still needed a way to see what was going on.
Enter Ahmed Talib.
I'm not going to act like I know everything about SCP-XXXX. Quite frankly, I don't even know how old he is. What I can tell you, is that he's loyal enough to warrant the gaping security risk of letting an anomaly roam free.
As you see, that gaping security risk has been worth it.

On 05/██/1967 SCP-XXXX was sighted in █████, USSR. It disappeared before Alpha-1 could establish contact, but reapeared 3 days later in Paris, France. SCP-XXXX alerted Foundation personnel to it's location, and Alpha-1 was disptached
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Agent Charlie Derman (MTF Alpha-1 Lead)
Foreword: SCP-XXXX requested to meet with Foundation personnel in Paris, and was informed of a safehouse that could be used for the meeting. It agreed.
<Begin Log, 2232 Local Time>
*Three knocks hit the door, Derman walks over, and opens the door.*
Interviewer: Ah, Mr. Talib, Please come in.
SCP-XXXX: My apologies for keeping you waiting, I had some things I needed to take care of before we spoke.
*Derman directs SCP-XXXX towards a table, SCP-XXXX Takes a seat*
Interviewer: So, you made it clear before you arrived that this could be potentially disasterious?
SCP-XXXX: You Westerners cause a lot of problems, you know that?
Interviewer: I… beg your pardon?
SCP-XXXX: Though I should clarify, that isn't so much directed towards you, but for Four. He is listening right?
Interviewer: Remotely, yes.SCP-XXXX: Good enough. over the past couple of months, Isrealies have been ramping up air training to an alarming extent. Egypt has picked up on this, and the Soviets are trying to fuel a war between Isreal and Egypt.
Interviewer: That's nice and all, but I don't see how that involves the Foundation.
SCP-XXXX: I'm getting to that, what do you know about the PLO?
Interviewer: Palestinian Liberation Orginisation? What about them?
SCP-XXXX: Did you know that ORIA is backing them?
Interviewer: Come again?
SCP-XXXX: Soon after Isreal started their air training, various high ranking members of the PLO were seen meeting with other high ranking members of ORIA. [SCP-XXXX Retreives a folder from it's coat.] These meeting were more than just talks, they were plans.
Interviewer: [Retreives the Folder, and begins reading contents]
SCP-XXXX: If Isreael does aggress, ORIA will provide the PLO with anomalous items in order to beat them back.
Interviewer: But why would ORIA risk open warfare like that?
SCP-XXXX: I don't have a clue, but you best prepare for what is to come.

1. This document is being forwarded specifically to higher-level officers only due to global ramifications should the contents of this document be revealed. Please use utmost discretion when discussing the contents of this memorandum with your subordinates.
2. The worst of our fears are true, France has indeed been aiding Isreal in preparation efforts. Though most of these training efforts are ariel oriented in nature our allies are not taking to this kindly.
3. By agreement with the PLO, we will begin distributing a few chosen anomolys to aid them in their effort against Israel. They must be actively tracked during this conflict, and recovered once it ends.

CONFIDENTIAL
On 05/██/1967 anomalous objects in possession of ORIA were dispatched to Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, with a majority of these objects were headed to air bases in Egypt.
In response, Foundation personnel advised high ranking members of the Isrealie government to pre-emtively strike. In response, Operation Focus was carried out successfuly.
Recovered objects include SCP-████, SCP-████, SCP-████.
On 08/02/1967. O5-4 received a letter from SCP-XXXX, addressed to their personal residence.
Four,
It's been a while, I should apologize for failing to inform you of my trips abroad prior. I know how your Foundation takes containment, rest assured I will not let it happen again.
I've waded through hundreds, if not thousands of battlefields, and slaughtered that many more. The consequences of this long life is that my memory may not be the greatest, but a few memories will stick with me in this life, One of which was my driving reasons for approaching you.
But another one of these memories is what happened in the aftermath of the airstrikes.
Killing a man is never easy, but I learnt long ago to hid my guilt under the guise of the greater good. And for at least the last century that's been true. It's one thing to kill a man, it's another to wade through a battlefield after the killing ends. Stalking through the corpses and looting those who held the anomalies close to them as the bombs fell, their allies crying for their lost limbs as I sauntered on.
I'm not laying the blame at anyones feet, the consequences of not doing so could have risked a peirced veil event. And it's my opinion that if Operation Focus failed, this letter would be completely diffrent.
Make no mistake, ORIA has gone too far. But I understand their frustration, and I plead that you see from their perspective why they felt the need to go to these lengths. I've seen my lands claimed by everyone from Cyrus to Alexander, once I realized my true age I came to the realization that no man can have permanent claim over these lands. Not even you or I.
They don't have that kind of, their fight is in the present. And I cannot lie, I do envy them for that.
While I do fear the risk of another pierced veil event, I doubt that it will happen in the near future. Regardless, I implore you to at least try and keep the west's involvment in that region to a minimum if possible.
Then again, war has been native here for the past 5000 years, what's another 5000 more.
Ahmed Talib
On 03/19/1969, SCP-XXXX requested to make contact with Foundation personnel, access was granted and SCP-XXXX Delivered Document XXXX-A.
Document XXXX-A
Notice of Anomylous Movment
——
I have reason to belive that ORIA may be attempting to to deploy anomalies to the border town of Karameh, this aligns with rumors that Yasser Arafat may also be in that area, no doubt to see the deployment of these anomalies.
[The remainder of this document has been omitted for brevity]
I certainly can't tell you what to do, but you know what must be done.
-Ahmed Talib.
Following the verification of this information, Emergency Powers were granted to the SCP Foundation by Israel, and Operation Inferno began in an attempt to stop ORIA from successfully deploying these anomalies against Isreal.

His clothes and armor have been torn to shreds, and his body has been mutilated beyond recognition. But the damage is quickly repairing, and within seconds Ahmed can walk on his own. He grabs his rifle and some spare ammo from his tattered gear before joining Alpha near the front of the tent.

Four,

Battle of Karameh
Arc 3: To-Do
Pre Gulf-War, post Yom Kippur war. Almost conflicts where PLO and Iran are involved, near use of Anomylous weapons,
On 09/11/2001. O5-4 received a letter from SCP-XXXX, addressed to their personal residence.
Four,
I wish I could be contacting you about something better, but alas it seems fate is not so kind.
Without a doubt, you've seen the news, it's impossible not to. The people I fight have taken this day to celebrate those events. My heart goes out to you, and your country for your loss.
When Allah brought upon the death of the firstborn, I wept for my child. And when the Pharoh rallied his army to chase the Isrealiets down, I brought my horse. I felt that rage your country feels now, and rode off into battle not knowing what came next.
When Moses parted the seas, it was then I knew I had come too far. I had toed the line with Allah, and had been lucky all that was lost was my pride.
Of course, you probably know the true nature of what happened. Anomalies you would call them, and 'Type Green' is what you would call Moses, no? I've seen what's happened when they've been left unchecked, and in this instance, I saw what happened when one became too great for the eyes to behold.
Stories of their heorics get passed down as truths for millenas, their actions praised and worshipped while history changes once more. As time went on, these stories faded into myths.
But humanity has come too far, now if the public was to be exposed to such anomalies the consequences could be dire.
Rally your men, your battle here was far from over when you left oversight to me. Stones I have no control over will be turned, the landscape will be changed once more, for better or worse, and someone needs to be there to pick up the pieces.
They say only the dead know the end of war, let's put that to the test.
Ahmed Talib
