Melfi Al Hussaini Al Harbi, more commonly known as Muhannad (مهند; Mukhannad or Mukhanad, Russian: Муханнад, sometimes Моганнед or Моханнад), and also known as Abu Anas (أبو أنس), was a Mujahid Emir (commander) fighting in Chechnya. Following the death of Abu Hafs al-Urduni on 26 November 2006, he was named leader of the battalion of foreign fighters once commanded by the notorious Saudi-born Ibn al-Khattab.[1]
Although Russian intelligence has claimed that he was a native of Jordan who served as a combat pilot (achieving the rank of Lieutenant) in the Jordanian Air Force and who also underwent military training in the United States this is not considered to be true. He was not Jordanian,[2] it is reported in other sources that he was Saudi.[3][4] He was killed by Russian security forces outside the village of Serzhen-Yurt, Chechnya on 21 April 2011.
