Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah (Arabic: عبدالله أحمد عبدالله; born 6 June 1963), also known as Abu Mohammed al-Masri, is an Egyptian high-ranking member of al-Qaeda. He is wanted[2] by the United States for his alleged role in the 1998 American embassy bombings in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. He has been described as al-Qaeda’s most experienced operational planner.
History
Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah was born in Egypt in 1963. According to Abdullah, he was once a professional football player for the Ghazl El-Mehalla team in Egypt.[3]
In 1992, he helped Saif al-Adel in providing intelligence and military training to those associated with al-Qaeda in Somalia and Sudan. It is sometimes claimed that his trainees were among the group who fought against the Americans during the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993.
According to a United States indictment issued for his alleged role in the 1998 United States embassy bombings, Abdullah is a member of the 'majlis al-shura' of al-Qaeda. It is alleged that between 1996 and 1998 he operated training camps in Afghanistan for al-Qaeda. Abdullah was responsible for forging a passport for Mohammed Saddiq Odeh so he could get from Pakistan to Afghanistan and meet Osama bin Laden before the 1998 United States embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.[4]
Abdullah was one of the 22 original members, and is still a member, of the Federal Bureau of Investigation list of Most Wanted Terrorists. The State Department, through the Rewards for Justice Program, is offering up to US$10 million for information on his location.[5][6]
He fled Nairobi, Kenya, on 6 August 1998, to Karachi, Pakistan. He was located in either Afghanistan or Pakistan.[7]
Sometime later, he was detained in Iran and placed under arrest. An interrogation of former al-Qaeda spokesman Sulaiman Abu Ghaith confirmed that Abdullah was under house arrest in Iran.[8] He was released by Iran in March 2014 alongside al-Qaeda leaders Saif al-Adel and Abu Khayr al-Masri.
Family
He is married to Ahmad Salama Mabruk's daughter, with whom he has three daughters.[3] One of his daughters, named Maryam, was married to Hamza bin Laden.[9]
