Information on how this fellow became a ‘martyr’. The amount of back stabbing among the son’s of Mo is amazing:
In 1989, a first attempt on his life failed, when a lethal amount of TNT explosive placed beneath the pulpit from which he delivered the sermon every Friday failed to detonate. The Arab mosque was in the University Town neighbourhood in western Peshawar, in Gulshan Iqbal Road. Abdullah Azzam used the mosque as the jihad center, according to a Reuters inquiry in the neighbourhood. Had the bomb exploded, it would reportedly have destroyed the mosque and killed everybody inside it.[43] After the first attempt, Prince Turki bin Faisal of Saudi Arabia’s chief of staff Ahmed Badeeb advised Azzam to leave Afghanistan.[20][clarification needed]

On November 24, 1989, Muhammad Azzam was driving his father and brother to Friday prayers in the Saba-e-Leil Mosque in Peshawar, when unknown assassins detonated a bomb as the vehicle approached. Lying in a narrow street across from a gas station, the explosive had a 50-metre detonation cord which led to the sewerage system where the assailant presumably waited.[44][32] According to Time, Waheed Muzhda had noticed what he assumed was a crew doing routine road maintenance working on the culvert where the bomb was placed, the day before the assassination.[45] Azzam and his sons were buried near the same site as his mother the year before, the Pabi Graveyard of the Shuhadaa’ (martyrs), in Peshawar.

Suspects
Suspects in the assassination include competing Islamic militia leaders, such as Hekmatyar, as well as the CIA, the Mossad, and the KHAD.[46][32] Former FBI agent Ali Soufan mentioned in his book, The Black Banners, that Ayman al-Zawahiri is suspected of being behind the assassination.[47][48] Azzam’s son-in-law, Abdullah Anas, accused the Egyptian Islamic Jihad of killing his father-in-law for issuing a fatwa that “once the Russian were ejected from Afghanistan, it would not be permissible for us to take sides.”[42]

Several associates of Azzam suspect the killing was part of a purge of those who favored moving the jihad to Palestine. In March 1991, Mustapha Shalabi, who ran the Maktab al-Khidmat, the Services Bureau in New York and was also “said to prefer a ‘Palestine next’ strategy, turned up dead in his apartment.” He was replaced by Wadih el-Hage, who later became bin Laden’s personal secretary.[49]

Osama bin Laden has also been accused of being a suspect in the murder, but seems to have remained on good terms with Azzam during this time.[50] However, it was reported that Bin Laden and Azzam also had a major dispute on where Al Qaeda should focus their operations.[2] Bin Laden favored using the organization to train fighters in various parts of the world while Azzam favored keeping the training camps in Afghanistan.[2] Azzam also objected to Bin Laden’s favoring of Hekmatyar.[32]

Yet another actor accused of the assassination is the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence,[51] an active opponent of Wahhabism. In 2009, Jordanian double agent Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi claimed knowledge of Jordanian General Intelligence Directorate cooperation with the CIA to set up the assassination.[52]
