An alleged former military chief of al-Jihad, Adil Awad Siyam (عادل عوض) (kunya: Abu al-Nadr) was killed by police in an April 1994 operation in Giza, Egypt.
[1][2][3] Known to carry a Yemeni passport[4] and referred to as the "ghost man", Siyam was accused of overseeing a failed attempt to kill the warden of Turah prison, as well as Interior Minister Hasan al-Alfi.
[2] On April 9, Egyptian General Raouf Khairat was assassinated in Cairo, leading to retaliatory raids against suspected militants.
[5] Siyam's death was alternately reported to have occurred on April 4, before the General was even killed,[6] or on April 21, eight days after his own death was announced by Interior Minister al-Alfi.
[9] Siyam had a daughter who in turn married Isam Muhammad Khalil.
