Profile Of: AL-ZAWAHIRI


BORN



Al-Zawahiri was born to a middle class family in Egypt , and was reportedly a studious youth. [10]


Ayman Al-Zawahiri was born in Egypt on June 19th, 1951. [11]


IIóTHE MARTYR In 1950, the year before Ayman al-Zawahiri was born, Sayyid Qutb, a well-known literary critic in Cairo, returned home after spending two years at Colorado State College of Education, in Greeley. [12]


According to many accounts, Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant and chief strategist for Al Qaeda's Holy War is the Egyptian terrorist Ayman al-Zawahiri. He has been indicted for his alleged role in the 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, and is suspected of masterminding the September 11 attacks. Ayman al-Zawahiri was born with his Sun conjunct the war planet Mars in the outspoken, clever sign of Gemini (June 19, 1951; Cairo; time unknown). [13]


EDUCATION



Al-Zawahiri graduated from medical school in 1974. [14]


Al-Zawahiri graduated from medical school in 1974. [15]


AYMAN AL-ZAWAHIRI: Osama Bin Laden's chief advisor and doctor is a former psychiatrist and surgeon, convicted of terrorism in Egypt and sentenced to death in absentia. 5 Al-Zawahiri studied behavior, psychology and pharmacology as part of his medical degree at Cairo University. [16]


PROFESSION



Al-Zawahiri became a surgeon and one of the first upper class Egyptians to join the country's militant movement, Islamic Jihad. [17]


Aliases: Abu Muhammad, Abu Fatima, Muhammad Ibrahim, Abu Abdallah, Abu al-Mu'iz, The Doctor, The Teacher, Nur, Ustaz, Abu Mohammed, Abu Mohammed Nur al-Deen, Abdel Muaz, Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri DESCRIPTION Date of Birth Used: June 19, 1951 Hair: Brown/Black Place of Birth: Egypt Eyes: Dark Height: Unknown Sex: Male Weight: Unknown Complexion: Olive Build: Unknown Citizenship: Egyptian Languages: Arabic, French Scars and Marks: None known Remarks: Al-Zawahiri is a physician and the founder of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. [18]


VISITED PLACES



After the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1989, al-Zawahiri returned to Egypt - now more radical than ever and, like other Arab fighters, having learned how to use force and violence to create an Islamic state. [20]


Al-Zawahiri, left, is reputed to be the right-hand man and chief tactician of Osama bin Laden, right. But al-Zawahiri remained in Afghanistan. [21]


Al-Zawahiri was born to a middle class family in Egypt , and was reportedly a studious youth. However, events pushed him in a more radical direction (possibly the Six Day War in 1967 ). By fourteen he had joined the Muslim Brotherhood , a radical #redirect Islamism group. By 1979 he had moved on to Islamic Jihad, where he eventually became one of its leading organizers and recruiters. He was one of hundreds arrested following the assassination of Anwar Sadat, but the Egyptian government was unable to prove any connection between al-Zawahiri and the crime and he was released. In the 1980s he journeyed to Afghanistan to participate in the mujahideen resistance against the Soviet Union's occupation. There he met Osama bin Laden, who was running a base for mujahideen called Makhtab al-Khidamat (MAK); both of them worked under the tutelage of the Palestinian Abdullah Azzam. In 1990 al-Zawahiri returned to Egypt, where he continued to push Islamic Jihad in more radical directions employing knowledge and tactics learned in Afghanistan. [10]


APFN Top bin Laden aide toured...(Cont'd) Thu Oct 11 23:43:48 2001 Sources who were interviewed by the FBI say the agents were convinced the visit occurred that year. In court, Mohamed said he twice had brought al-Zawahiri here in the 1990s, but didn't specify dates. But the 1995 visit was heatedly denied by another person Dahab identified as facilitating al-Zawahiri's visit -- Zaki, the South Bay physician and civic leader. [22]


In 1995, al-Jihad agents attempted to kill Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, but failed. Increasingly, however, al-Zawahiri has left behind the struggle in Egypt to join bin Laden in his efforts to attack American interests abroad. [23]


Al-Zawahiri visited mosques in Santa Clara, Stockton and Sacramento while using a false name and carrying a forged passport, the sources said. [24]


MEMBER OF



Pentagon sources told reporters that Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of Egyptian Jihad, and his family were targeted by US warplanes in recent days. [25]

[20]


Until May 1996, Al-Zawahiri led the Egyptian Islamic Jihad organization. [26]


By 1987, according to Egyptian intelligence officials, al-Zawahiri had begun to reassemble al-Jihad from the so-called Afghan Arabs who had come from other Gulf States seeking martyrdom in the war. [23]


Most importantly, al-Zawahiri, the leader of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, spoke before Bin Laden and at some length. [27]


In the first half of November 1997, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of the Jihad Organisation and the Vanguard of Conquest, met a man called Abu-Umar al-Amriki [al-Amriki means the American] at a camp near Peshawar, on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. [28]

ILLEGAL/SUSPECTED ACTIVITY



Ayman Al-Zawahiri Linked to U.S. Embassy Bombing-Nairobi. [38]


Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri is perhaps the most influential, and yet unknown, member of al Qaeda. He is an Egyptian surgeon who has been called one of the masterminds behind the vast network and a likely successor to bin Laden. As former head of the Egyptian al-Jihad, he has a long history of terror-related crimes. Interpol issued a top-level arrest warrant for him last week, yet his whereabouts are unknown. However, he attended bin Laden's son's wedding in the Afghan city of Kandahar in January. The list of terrorist attacks in which al-Zawahiri has been involved includes: He was indicted in New York two years ago in connection with the bombing of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in August 1998. [17]


After the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1989, al-Zawahiri returned to Egypt - now more radical than ever and, like other Arab fighters, having learned how to use force and violence to create an Islamic state. Throughout the 1990s he was responsible for organizing and bringing former mujahidin into the group Islamic Jihad. Because of governmental pressure, he had to move to Sudan in 1992, but in 1996, he and Osama bin Laden returned to Afghanistan. Al-Zawahiri was sentenced to death in absentia by an Egyptian court in 1999 for his role in organizing a variety of deadly terrorist attacks, but in particular the massacre of fifty-eight tourists in Luxor in 1997.

He is believed to serve as an advisor and doctor to Usama Bin Laden. [32]


Egyptian security authorities began a ruthless crackdown on al-Jihad in the 1980s, imprisoning, torturing and executing its members. Under such pressure the group split into two factions, one led by al-Zawahiri, the other by Abbud al-Zumar, who is currently imprisoned. [23]
