[Politics] He was accused of spying and causing the assassination of its leaders.. Who is Abu Turab al-Sudani, who was allegedly executed by al-Qaeda?

[Mr.Bada]

Khartoum - Al-Sudani political daily revealed that Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula executed a prominent leader in its ranks, Rashad Qureshi Othman, nicknamed "Abu Turab Al-Sudani", after he was accused of espionage and treason for the benefit of hostile countries. According to what the newspaper reported, Abu Turab was accused of being responsible for the killing of a number of al-Qaeda leaders, led by the organization’s emir in Yemen, Nasser al-Wuhayshi, who was assassinated in an American raid in mid-2015.https://www.aljazeera.net/news/politics/2022/2/3/اتهم-بالتجسّس-والتسبب-باغتيال-قيادات

The journalist specializing in religious groups' affairs, Al-Hadi Muhammad Al-Amin, spoke of several reports confirming the "brutal" execution of the organization's leader, Abu Turab, by beheading him and separating his head from his body. Al-Amin indicated, in statements to Al-Jazeera Net, that judgments were issued convicting Abu Turab by internal courts led by judges known as "Al-Qaeda's Sharia", nearly 5 years ago, on charges of involvement in the killing of a number of Al-Qaeda leaders in Yemen.Al-Amin explained that videos published by the organization in the name of "The Spy Hunter" include recorded confessions from Abu Turab and a number of his companions, "involving in the treachery of the organization and helping to track down its leaders." According to Al-Amin, the man was able to implant an electronic chip connected to satellites inside the hideout of Nasser Al-Wuhayshi, who is considered the second man in Al-Qaeda after Ayman Al-Zawahiri, which facilitated the targeting of him by a guided missile launched by a US drone. Al-Amin stressed that the Sudanese youth was subjected to severe forms of torture during the years he spent imprisoned in Al-Qaeda prisons in Yemen, and after being convicted of spying.

Among the scarce information available about Rashad Othman (Abu Turab Al-Sudani), who has a strict face, features and sharp looks, it appears that he is a resident of the city of Khartoum, specifically the Al-Kalakla suburb south of the capital, and his roots go back to the northern state.According to the Secretary, Abu Turab was affiliated with the Islamic Tendency Movement (the student arm of the Islamic movement) during his university studies, and he was one of its most active students. Al-Amin reported that Abi Turab had received high-level military training in the national service and po[CENSORED]r defense camps, before he actively participated in the civil war in South Sudan (currently the state of South Sudan) as part of the movements of the Po[CENSORED]r Defense Forces. The Po[CENSORED]r Defense is considered an unorganized fighting faction, which supported the Sudanese army in its wars against the Sudan People's Liberation Movement led by John Garang Dambior.Opposition forces describe the PDF as a militia affiliated with the Islamic movement, and accuse its members of committing war crimes and human rights violations against those who violate the Bashir regime.After returning from the theaters of military operations in southern Sudan, Rashad Othman (Abu Turab) worked at the National Service Corporation, which is the body entrusted with giving students military training before they enter universities, to secure reserve forces that can be employed whenever needed. In the same context, a source for Al-Jazeera Net, who requested that his name be withheld, spoke about Abu Turab Al-Sudani's affiliation with one of the Salafist organizations in the country before joining Al-Qaeda.
