Role in Case(s)
Omar was first interrogated after Jack Archer and the player found his briefcase. An analysis from Elliot Clayton revealed that Omar had connections with some rebel tribal leaders, including the ones who met Adam at Omar's riad. When asked about the leaders who met Adam, Omar simply said that they were elder tribal leaders, but did not care if they were a part of any rebellion. The victim had contacted him through the embassy, and requested info regarding ancient tribal influence on modern rebel intelligence. Though the two would normally meet at the souk, Omar felt it was best they meet at his riad with the rebel leaders. This prompted Jack and player to investigate the souk again.

Omar was interrogated again after finding the victim's urine in an antique bowl in the riad. He said the bowl was an ancient artifact and costed him a fortune to secure it. The victim had come one night intoxicated demanding that Omar give him all the contact information on the tribal leaders. When Omar refused, the victim proceeded to relieve himself in the bowl. Omar was not surprised that Adam was murdered, saying the victim had no respect for authority, history, or order.

Omar was found innocent after the team incarcerated Christy Mathis for killing Adam, but was spoken to by the player and Marina Romanova regarding a conversation he had with Jonah Karam. After analyzing an answering machine between the two, she found out that Jonah was trying to get some information out of him, but Omar did not seem the least bit worried at him. Omar said that Jonah wanted to speak with some tribal leaders regarding a possible rebellion, but Omar did not trust him and thusly refused. Other than that, he did not have anything else regarding Jonah other than he spoke from the docks, prompting the player and Marina to look there for clues.
