The Egyptian Ali Sayyid Muhamed Mustafa al-Bakri (Arabic: علي سيد محمد مصطفى البكري ) alias Abdul-Aziz al-Masri ( عبد العزيز المصري ) (b. 1966 in Bani Suwayf) is a member of majlis al-shura (leadership) of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, and a former member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad [1], from which he migrated to al-Qaeda along with Ayman al-Zawahiri. Al-Bakri is at large, and the United States Department of State is offering up to US$ 5 million for information about his location[2]. The State Department describes al-Bakri as an expert on explosives, who served in that capacity as a trainer in al-Qaeda's camps in Afghanistan. They believe he is probably still active in a training role.
For his membership in al-Qaeda, al-Bakri (under the surname Bakri) is under worldwide embargo by the United Nations Security Council Committee 1267[3].
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.[4]
