Al
Qaeda’s second-in-command, accused of helping to mastermind the 1998 bombings
of two U.S. embassies in Africa, was killed in Iran in August by Israeli
operatives acting at the behest of the United States, the New York Times
reported on Friday, citing intelligence officials.
Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, who went by the nom
de guerre Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was gunned down by two men on a motorcycle in
the streets of Tehran on Aug. 7, the Times reported.
The killing of Masri, who was seen as a likely
successor to al Qaeda’s current leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was kept secret
until now, the newspaper said.
