| Narrative and Notes (Reliable) | Jamal al-Fadl described Abu Mohamed el Masry Saad al-Sharif as a member of al-Qaeda's shura after its formation. 1 |
| Narrative and Notes (Possible) | It is possible that he is the same person as Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, a senior al-Qaeda operator who is frequently referred to by his nom de guerre, Abu Mohamed al-Masri, which is the same as the first part of this figure's name. But Abdullah is described as Egyptian, while al-Fadl described Saad al-Sharif as Saudi.It is more likely that he is the same as Sa'd al-Sharif, a figure described as an al-Qaida financier and Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law by the United Nations.1,2 |
