The Meet al-Attar shooting was a mass shooting that occurred in Meet al-Attar () a village near Banha, Egypt on 21 August 2013, when Omar Abdul Razeq Abdullah Rifai (), a 28-year-old unemployed poultry dealer and ex-convict who was recently released from his sentence after his involvement in the death of 23 people in 2008 over a family feud, fatally shot 15 people and possibly wounded several others, using an AKMS assault rifle, before being shot dead by villagers himself. In total, he killed 38 people within the span of 5 years.

Perpetrator
