Abu Muhammad al-Masri, the second highest leader of the al-Qaida terror group, has died!
Two Israeli agents fired at the terrorist in the streets of the Iranian capital, Tehran, on behalf of the United States. What does the “New York Times” and cites various intelligence officials.
The terrorist is said to have been killed on August 7, the 22nd anniversary of the attack on the US embassies in Africa. Together with his daughter Mariam, he crossed Tehran in a Renault. Both were shot from a motorcycle. Mariam is the widow of Hamza bin Laden, the son of Osama bin Laden.
The Renault in which al-Masri was shot
According to the newspaper report, the murder occurred so secretly that, although al-Masri’s death was rumored, it has never been confirmed. For reasons that are not yet clear, the al-Qaeda terrorist network has not announced the death. Officials from the Iranian dictatorship tried to cover up the incident. Neither the United States nor Israel made public statements about the operation.
One of the world’s “most wanted” terrorists
The current head of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahri, saw al-Masri first in line to lead the terrorist organization.
Al-Masri was on the FBI’s “Terrorists Most Wanted” list until the very end, for a $ 10 million reward for information leading to his capture.
Al-Masri is accused of being one of the masterminds of the deadly attacks on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, which killed 224 people and injured thousands.

It is surprising that al-Masri lived in Iran, which is hostile to al-Qaeda. Iran, a Shiite-Muslim theocracy (religiously legitimized state), and al-Qaida, a Sunni-Muslim jihadist group, fought each other on the battlefields in Iraq and elsewhere.
US intelligence officials told the New York Times that al-Masri had been in Iranian “custody” since 2003, but had been living freely in the exclusive Pasdaran district of the capital Tehran since at least 2015 and was able to move around peacefully. Until August 7th.
