Masood assassin was al-Qaeda rep
Dahmane Abd Al Sattar, a 39-year-old Tunisian who was one of the two assassins of Ahmed Shah Masood, was an active representative in Belgium of al-Qaeda, according to the Belgian newspaper Le Soir. Al Sattar held a university degree in journalism from his home country and held a forged and stolen Belgian passport. Le Soir said French intelligence "became convinced that Masood's assassination was ordered by al-Qaeda and carried out by a Tunisian movement with a representation in Brussels of which Dahmane served as a way-station".
