Salem El-Masri - Life

Life

El-Masri was believed by Jamal al-Fadl to have trained with Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon, before finding himself attached to the Egyptian militant movement led by Ayman al-Zawahiri.

He was part of the group of Al-Qaeda trainers that included Abu Taha al-Sudan, Saif al-Islam el-Masry, and Saif al-Adel who was invited to go to Lebanon, after Hezbollah consulted with Iran.

According to a testimony by Jamal al-Fadl he taught the proper use of explosives in the Jihad Wahl training camp.

Jamal al-Fadl testified in 2001 that he had seen el-Masri at the Al-Damazin Farms. The Damazine Farm on the outskirts of Damazine City was an al-Qaeda farm that grew peanuts, sesame, and white corn, and which also was used for al-Qaeda weapons and explosives training, and was a base of el-Masri, as well as for other al-Qaeda members from Afghanistan and Sudan.

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it ... it’s just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.”
    —Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)

    “If it is asserted that civilization is a real advance in the condition of man,—and I think that it is, though only the wise improve their advantages,—it must be shown that it has produced better dwellings without making them more costly; and the cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I feel nothing but the accursed happiness I have dreaded all my life long: the happiness that comes as life goes, the happiness of yielding and dreaming instead of resisting and doing, the sweetness of the fruit that is going rotten.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
