Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar is Dead – Al Qaeda Confirms
August 4th, 2008It has been speculated for a few days that Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar – Al Qaeda’s chemical weapons expert is dead. According to a statement from Al Qaeda posted on radical Islamist website, it was confirmed that Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar, as well as three other “heroes” – as referred to by Al Qaeda – have been killed last week.
The statement doesn’t bear any details as to when exactly or how four Al Qaeda operatives aka “heroes” died, but the statement was signed by Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, leader of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan so it is considered to be believable.
This comes a week after one of Pakistani senior officials said they were near certain Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar was dead after an airstrike lead by the US forces within the regions of Pakistan. Yousuf Raza Gilani – Pakistani Prime Minister said that US would have violated Paki sovereignty if the reports were true and the attack did in fact take place on Pakistani soil.
Sheikh Abu Khabab al-Masri – which is another name by which 55-year-old Egyptian Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar was known – was on the 37 most wanted terrorists list of the US State Department with $5 million bounty on his head.
Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar was an expert on chemical and biological weapons and ran training camps teaching oher terrorists and other extremists how to make explosives.
I guess this is when he’s gonna get rewarded with his 77 virgins, right?
