A copy of all records on Taher Dajani who's date of birth is: 12/9/1933 and who's date of death was: 12/22/2021.

Mr. Dejani was born a citizen of Palestine in immigrated to the United States in 1955. At his time of death Mr. Dejani was a resident of Alexandria, VA.
I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest as Mr. Dejani was a public figure who held leadership positions at The International Monetary Fund and the Central Bank of Lybia and was a published author who's books are still widely sold online and in bookstores.
