Destruction after the bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, 1998. An act of the now-assassinated terrorist leader was behind this.
The Israeli security services are said to have killed a high-ranking member of the al-Qaeda terror group.
The New York Times writes that Abu Muhammad al-Masri was shot and killed on an open street in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on August 7 on the orders of the United States. According to the newspaper, the leader is rumored to be dead, but neither Iran, the United States, Israel, nor Al Qaeda have officially released the information.
Abu Muhammad al-Masri is said to have been the second man in the terrorist network and, among other things, responsible for the 1998 attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which claimed more than 200 lives.
The leader, whose real name was Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, is said to have been assassinated along with his daughter Miriam, who was the widow of Osama bin Laden’s son, Hamza bin Laden.
In October, the Afghan security service said it had killed another very high-ranking al-Qaeda leader, Abu Muhsin al-Masri. According to the NDS security service, he was killed in an operation in the Ghazni province in eastern Afghanistan.
