Adel Abdel Bary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Egyptians Adel Mohammed Abdul Almagid Abdel Bary and Ibrahim Hussein Abdel Hadi Eidarous have been in the custody of the United Kingdom since 1999[1], fighting extradition to the United States, where they are wanted[2] in connection with the 1998 United States embassy bombings. Khalid al-Fawwaz was arrested earlier and is in a similar situation.
According to the indictment, Abdel Bary communicated by satellite phone with Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Zawahiri invited Abdel Bary into the British component of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and Abdel Bary accepted, promising to obey the EIJ leadership. Abdel Bary and Eidarous are also accused of issuing statements to several press organs shortly after the embassy bombing, in which they claim to represent the perpetrators.
Another alleged EIJ officer in the UK is Hani al-Sibai.
