Masada al Mujahideen announced its formation in April 2008 and said its leader is Abu Omar al Ansari. In 2012 it threatened to carry out attacks against Israel and Hamas in response to the assassination of Abu al Walid al Maqdisi, the former emir of the Tawhid and Jihad Group in Jerusalem. Masada al Mujahideen said that Hamas was responsible for the death of al Maqdisi and that Hamas "has become the loyal agent and a quicker executor than its predecessors of the orders of the occupation." The group threatened to make Hamas pay "dearly for these foolish, heinous crimes, but at the time we find suitable, whether it's sooner or later, and we will do it." Masada al Mujahideen also eulogized Atiyah Abd al Rahman, a top al Qaeda leader who was killed in a US drone strike in North Waziristan, Pakistan, in August 2011. "He was truly one of the well-known people of jihad and a bright star in the sky of knowledge,"

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions. Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
