Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar, also known as Abu Khabab al-Masri (29 April 1953, Egypt – 28 July 2008, Pakistan) was a chemist and alleged top bomb maker for al-Qaeda and part of Osama bin Laden's inner circle. The United States had a $5 million bounty on his head. Although reportedly killed in a U.S. attack in January 2006, he survived and intelligence officials believe he went on to attempt to resurrect al-Qaeda's program to develop or obtain weapons of mass destruction.[1] On 28 July 2008, Mursi was killed in an American drone attack in South Waziristan, Pakistan.[2]
