According to the US, he became a senior al-Qaida operative for international terrorist operations after fighting in Bosnia and Chechnya.Según EEUU, se convirtió en un importante operativo de Al-Qaeda para las operaciones de terrorismo internacional después de luchar en Bosnia y Chechenia.
More from Bill Roggio:
Masri also was a close associate of Nasar Mustafa Setmariam [AKA Abu Musab al-Suri]; “Nasar worked closely with Midhat Mursi al-Sayid ‘Umar (a.k.a. Abu Khabab al-Masri) to train extremists in poisons and chemical during his time in Afghanistan, and was also involved in training at the al-Ghuraba terrorist camp.” al-Suri was recently captured in Pakistan, and was chief ideologue and leader of al Qaeda in Europe.
It is indisputable that Abu Khabab al-Masri was a high level al Qaeda operative and leader, and a dangerous man with intimate knowledge of explosives and al Qaeda’s WMD program. Claims the airstrike in Damadola only killed innocent villagers can now be laid to rest.
Era un operativo y líder de Al-Qaeda y un hombre peligroso con conocimientos directos de eplosivos y del programa de ADM de Al-Qaeda. Las afirmaciones de que el ataque aéreo sobre Damadola sólo había matado a ciudadanos inocentes pueden ahora rechazarse.
