Ahmed Abd al-Karim al-Saadi

Ahmed Abd al-Karim al-Saadi

Ahmed Abd al-Karim al-Saadi aka Abu Mohjen is a Palestinian who became the leader of Osbat al-Ansar in 1991 after founder Sheik Hisham Shreidi was killed by Fatah rivals. [http://www.tkb.org/KeyLeader.jsp?memID=6281 al-Saadi, Ahmad Abd al-Karim profile] ] Abu Mohjen is believed to have been behind the transformation of Osbat al-Ansar from a Palestinian-centered militant group into an al-Qaeda supported pan-Islamic organization. Abu Mohjen has been sentenced to death "in absentia" by Lebanon; however, his sentence was later reduced to 20 years hard labor. [ [http://www.dailystar.com.lb/results.asp?simplequery=Abu%20Mohjen Daily Star] ] After being sentenced by the Lebanese government Abu Mohjen has remained in hiding. It is assumed that his brother Abu Tarek has assumed control of Osbat al-Ansar while Abu Mohjen remains in hiding either in Iraq or in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh.
