“Abu Khabab Training Recruits for WMD Attacks”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “After a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan in January 2006, President Pervez Musharraf and his intelligence officials said that Abu Khabab Masri had been killed.
But U.S. intelligence officials believe that Abu Khabab, an Egyptian-born chemical engineer, was not killed in the raid and has set up labs in remote parts of Pakistan where scientists and researchers can work to develop chemical and biological weapons.
According to recent intelligence, Abu Khabab is “training Western recruits for chemical attacks in Europe and perhaps the United States, just as he did when he ran the ‘Khabab Camp’ at al-Qaida’s sprawling Darunta training complex in Afghanistan’s Tora Bora region before the Sept. 11 attacks,” the Los Angeles Times reported.”

“Abu Khabab al-Masri Killed in Pakistan Strike”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The strike on the compound in Damadola, Pakistan, where Ayman al-Zawahiri. al-Qaeda’s number two in Command, was believed to be attending a dinner to celebrate a Mulslim holiday, has netted at least one high-level al-Qaeda operative. Pakistani intelligence has confirmed that Abu Khabab al-Masri, al-Qaeda’s chief bomb maker and chemical weapons expert. Counterterrism expert Dan Darling reported that Masri ran al-Qaeda’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Program, known as “Project al-Zabadi” and was likely involved in the foiled Amman WMD attack.”
