Current Tally: | ||
*Note: There has been some contradictory information as
to the status of this individual. Abu Mohammed al-Masri is a nom de guerre,
hence one should not confuse him with the al-Qaeda functionary of the same
name who was recently killed in Algeria working with the GSPC. Mossad reportedly
had intelligence that al-Masri might have been one of the suicide bombers
involved in the al-Qaeda attack in Mombasa, but near as I can tell the
findings were not corroborated
**Note: Per Knight Ridder, he may have been captured along with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. If this is indeed true it would be exceedingly good news. |
