    Dear Osama Sammour,

    When screening "khaled el sabeh" I also get a strong match on the result you have described. The match was done on the native alias. This can be a phonetic or other factor impacting the match.

    "referenceId": "e_tr_wci_2927101",
    "matchStrength": "STRONG",
    "matchedTerm": "خالد مجاور",
    "submittedTerm": "khaled el sabeh",
    "matchedNameType": "NATIVE_AKA",

    If you do not want Native Aliases to surface and be used int he matching process you can remove them from the group:

    1. Go To: Admin - World-Check - Settings and click on edit.
    2. If Include Native Aliases is on you can disable it by clicking on Edit
    3. Switch Off Native Aliases
    4. Click Save

    Best Regards,
