Last summer, two people were found shot to death in a Tehran suburb.
It is not until now that it has been confirmed that it was the Israeli forces that fired the shots on behalf of the United States.
The victims were none other than the al-Qaeda al-Masri leader and his daughter, Miriam, bin Laden’s daughter-in-law.
Suddenly one night, shots rang out in a prosperous suburb north of Tehran.
In a white Renault, a middle-aged man and a younger woman lay dead, shot dead with at least four shots from a passing motorcycle. This is how the Iranian news agencies reported on the murders of August 7 this year.
The victims, it was said, were Lebanese academic Habib Dawood and his daughter Maryam. Habib was linked to Hezbollah, but there was no other background to explain the killings, Iranian media reported.
The identity was revealed months later.
The outside world did not think about the killings, not even in Lebanon, where the victims are said to have originated. Soon everything was forgotten. But a couple of weeks ago, new information began to appear on social media. The story as told in August was not true. First, there was no Lebanese academic named Habib Dawood. Furthermore, no media friendly to Hezbollah had written a single line about the murdered supporter.
According to a Twitter account said to belong to a freelance reporter in the UAE, there were good reasons why the murdered man and the woman’s identity were not allowed to emerge: the man found dead in the white renault was the al-Qaeda leader Abu Mohammed al-Masri and his daughter. , also the widow of Miriam, the son of Osama bin Laden.
Soon after, Afghan news services also began reporting on the death of the terrorist leader, but nothing was confirmed in Iran.
The New York Times has now received the information confirmed by several different intelligence sources: Israeli forces issued the act in Tehran on behalf of the United States.
The FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist
Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah was called al-Masri due to his Egyptian origins. It has long been on the FBI’s list of the world’s most wanted terrorists and it was until last Friday that the newspaper published the information. Al-Masri acted as something of a mentor to bin Laden’s son Hamza, who later married his daughter.
32 years ago, on the same date the shots were fired in Tehran, he is not only involved, but also the mastermind of the bombings against the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. 224 people died and hundreds were injured. Anyone who could lead the FBI to al-Masri would be rewarded with ten million dollars, equivalent to 87 million crowns.

Al-Masri is said to have been the mastermind behind the bombing of the US embassy in Kenya.
Therefore, his death was kept secret.
The fact that al-Masri has been housed in Iran in recent years is shocking, writes the NY Times, as the Sunni extremist al-Qaeda and the Iranian Shiite government are bitter enemies who have fought on opposite sides of various camps. battle. But it’s also a smart hiding place for someone like al-Masri: The chances of Iran entering into an extradition treaty with the United States are slim, if not non-existent. However, Iran has already entered into agreements with al-Qaeda. In 2015, the republic exchanged five al-Qaeda leaders, including al-Masri, for an Iranian diplomat captured in Yemen.
Various interests hide behind the motive to keep his death a secret. The Iranian authorities do not want the country to appear as a terrorist nest of a terrorist group like al-Qaeda, which in turn does not want to admit that it has lost one of its leaders. For obvious reasons, Israel and the United States also have reasons to hide their spying activities abroad.
Neither Iran, al-Qaeda, Israel nor the United States have published information from the New York Times, which has been confirmed by other media.
