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:

    For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.
    Bible: New Testament, Mark 8:34,5.

    Jesus.

    Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing—to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I could lie down like a tired child,
    And weep away the life of care
    Which I have borne and yet must bear,
    Till death like sleep might steal on me,
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
