Ahmad Ibrahim al-Sayyid al-Naggar was a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, an Islamist terrorist group active since the 1970s.
[4][8][9] He was ostensibly linked to the 1995 plot to blow up the Khan el-Khalili market, as well as the assassination of Speaker of Parliament Rifaat el-Mahgoub in October 1990.
[8] In 1998, Adel Abdel Bari asked al-Naggar to claim asylum in the United Kingdom, so he could help convince Hani Sibai to support the Algerian GIA in media communiques.
When taken to SSI headquarters in Lazughli Square and questioned by Captain Yasir Azzulddin,[4] his hands and feet were tied, as interrogators applied electric shocks to his nipples and penis.
[14] Together with the other three returnees brought from Tirana, his capture and torture were listed as the main reasons for the 1998 United States embassy bombings.
