Ali Sayyid Muhamed Mustafa al-Bakri, better known as Abd al-Aziz al-Masri, is an al Qaeda member and expert on explosives and chemical weapons.He is a member of the al Qaeda Shura (leadership) council and is a close associate of al Qaeda leaders Sayf al-Adl, Khalid Shaykh Muhammad, and Dr. Ayman Zawahiri. Prior to joining al Qaeda, al-Bakri was a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad terrorist group, under the direction of Ayman Zawahiri. He served as an instructor in al Qaeda’s camps in Afghanistan, providing terrorist recruits with training in the use of explosives and chemical weapons.Al-Bakri also unsuccessfully attempted to hijack a Pakistani Air passenger flight in December, 2000. It is highly probable that he continues to train al Qaeda terrorists and other extremists.

For his membership in al-Qaeda, al-Bakri (under the surname Bakri) is under worldwide embargo by the United Nations Security Council Committee 1267. [http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/committees/1267/tablelist.htm UN list of affiliates of al-Qaeda and the Taliban] ] The UN entry about him, from 2005, says that al-Bakri may be in Iran.
