Mohammed Atef Al-Masri ((アラビア語: عاطف المصرى), ) (born ''Sobhi Abu Setta'',〔 also known as ''Abu Hafs al-Masri'') was the military chief of al-Qaida, and was considered one of Osama Bin Laden's two deputies, the other being Ayman Al Zawahiri. although his role in the organization was not well known by intelligence agencies for years.〔 He was killed in a US drone strike in November 2001. Atef served two years in the Egyptian Air Force and became an agricultural engineer.〔〔Potomac Books, "Through Our Enemies Eyes", p. 95.〕 He was also a police officer and a member of the group Egyptian Islamic Jihad before he moved to Afghanistan to repel the Soviet invasion,〔 while operating from Peshawar.〔Raman, B. South Asia Analysis Group, (USA's Afghan Ops ), November 20, 2001〕 He has been credited as having convinced Abdullah Azzam to abandon his life and devote himself to preaching jihad at this time.〔 Atef was sent to an Afghan training camp where he met Ayman al-Zawahiri, who later introduced him to Osama bin Laden.〔 He attended two meetings from August 11–20 in 1988, along with Bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, Mamdouh Mahmud Salim, Jamal al-Fadl, Wael Hamza Julaidan, and Mohammed Loay Bayazid and eight others, to discuss the founding of "al-Qaeda".〔Wright, Lawrence. "The Looming Tower", 2006. p. 131-134〕 Bin Laden later sent a letter to Mohammed Loay Bayazid informing him that Atef and Abu Ubaidah al-Banshiri were to each be given 6,500 Saudi riyals monthly, the same as they had been given for their work in Maktab al-Khidamat.〔 ==In the Sudan== Atef followed al-Qaeda to the Sudan in 1992 until the group was forced to leave,〔Foreign and Commonwealth Office, (Responsibility for the terrorist atrocities ), October 4, 2001〕 following the execution of the teenaged son of Ahmad Salama Mabruk, and Atef moved to Afghanistan.〔Human Rights Watch, (Chapter VI: Muhammad al-Zawahiri and Hussain al-Zawahiri )〕〔Kushner, Harvey W. "Encyclopedia of Terrorism", 2002. Atef, p. 56〕 In 1994, he refused to allow American double agent Ali Mohammed to know which name and passport he would be traveling under, expressing concerns that Mohammed could be working with the American authorities.〔Sullivan, John. Raleigh News and Observer, "Al-Qaeda Terrorist Duped FBI, Army", October 21, 2001〕 He traveled to Mombassa, Kenya where he met with Mohammed Odeh and gave him money to purchase himself a 7-tonne trawler and start a fishing business.〔Simon Reeve, The New Jackals: Ramzi Yousef, Osama bin Laden and the future of terrorism, London: Deutsch Limited, 1999, p. 4〕〔Bergen, Peter. "The Osama bin Laden I Know", 2006〕〔United States of America v. Usama bin Laden et al, (May 1, 2001 proceedings )〕 While in the Sudan, he allegedly conducted a study which resulted in him presenting al-Qaeda details on why aircraft hijackings were a poor idea as they were engineered to allow the negotiation of hostages in exchange for prisoners, rather than inflicting damage.〔National Commission on Terrorist Attacks, 9/11 Commission, p. 153〕 Another alleged study he carried out determined that the Afghan Arabs and Taliban could together topple the dictatorship of Pervez Musharraf in Pakistan, and the government of Iran.〔Al-Sharq al-Awsat, (Analysis: Al-Qa'ida Military Training on the Internet ), February 16, 2002〕 In 1995, Atef gave Khalid Sheikh Mohammed details for a contact in Brazil.〔National Commission on Terrorist Attacks, 9/11 Commission, p. 148〕 When Mohammed returned to Afghanistan, he turned to Atef to set up a meeting with Bin Laden in Tora Bora, at which he told the pair his plans for military attacks against the United States.〔 Prior to 1996, Abu Ubaidah al-Banshiri, Atef and Yaseen al-Iraqi aided Enaam Arnaout in purchasing AK-47s and mortar rounds from a Pashtun tribesman named Hajjji Ayoub, and they were subsequently delivered in large trucks to the Jawr and Jihad Wahl training camps.〔Fitzgerald, Patrick J.
