WTF.. with all the hype, with all the propaganda dished out by
the US - like WMD. This time the US is caught with their hands in
the cookie jar, for creating a new invisible super-duper villian to
cast all blame on and to install fear in Iraq.
That SOB is in Egyptian prison for seven years... ha .. ha
..ha
Wonder who is controlling AQ ???
Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, the purported successor of Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi as leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, is in an Egyptian prison
and not Iraq, a lawyer has claimed.
Egyptian newspaper Al-Masri al-Yawm has quoted Mamduh Ismail as
saying he met al-Muhajir, also known as Sharif Hazaa, or Abu Ayub
al-Masri, in Tura prison in Cairo, where he has been held for seven
years.
"Sharif Hazaa [al-Muhajir] is in Tura prison, and I met him two
days ago while I was visiting some of my clients," Ismail, a lawyer
known for defending Islamist groups, told the newspaper.
Al-Muhajir is on the "most wanted" list issued by the Iraqi
government last week. The US military in Iraq has put a $5million
price on his head.
The US army media centre in Iraq said: "We cannot comment on the
news that ... al-Masri is in an Egyptian prison and not in Iraq, we
have to clarify that from the Egyptian government."
The US military had announced after the death of al-Zarqawi that
al-Masri had been appointed the leader of al-Qaeda's organisation
in Iraq.
The military said al-Masri was born and brought up in Egypt. He
then went to Afghanistan, where he trained in bomb-making before
going to Iraq in 2002.
