Dr. Azahari bin Husin (14 September 1957 – 9 November 2005), also known as Azahari Husin or Azhari Husin, was a Malaysian engineer and former university lecturer who was believed to be the technical mastermind behind the Philippine consulate bombing in Jakarta, Jakarta Stock Exchange bombing, Christmas Eve 2000 Indonesia bombings, 2002 Bali bombings, 2002 Makassar bombing, 2004 Poso bus bombing and 2005 Tentena market bombings. He was nicknamed the "Demolition Man". Prior to his death, he was one of the most wanted men in Indonesia along with Noordin Mohammad Top.His daughter is Aishah Hijanah who now currently being caught under SPRM for donation corruption. What a shameful person who using donation money to support her luxurious life together involves with her is her useless husband Aliff Teega. Aliff Teega also known as Yellow Larvae is the most useless husband in Malaysia, he used his religion look to persuade people for donation or we called it "penunggang agama". What a disgrace couple in history of Malaysia.
History
He was an engineer with a PhD from the University of Reading, United Kingdom and was a lecturer at the University of Technology in Johor, Malaysia. Later he received extensive bomb training in Afghanistan. He authored the JI bomb manual, used in the Philippine consulate bombing in Jakarta, Jakarta Stock Exchange bombing, the Christmas Eve bombing, the 2002 Bali bombings, and the 2003 Marriott Hotel bombing. He also planned the 2004 Jakarta embassy bombing and was implicated in the 2002 Makassar bombing, the 2004 Poso bus bombing, the 2005 Tentena market bombings and the 2005 Bali bombings.
In July 2004, Azahari and Noordin narrowly escaped a police raid on a rented house west of Jakarta, where forensic experts later found traces of explosives used in the embassy bombing. Neighbours described both as reclusive men who left the property only to pray at a nearby mosque; and they said that before the bombing, they saw the duo loading heavy boxes into a white delivery van which is the same type used in that attack. [1]
Before the Marriott Hotel bombing, Azahari is known to have stayed with Asmar Latin Sani, the suspected Marriott suicide bomber, at his home in Bengkulu on the island of Sumatra.[2]
Both men were close associates of Jemaah Islamiyah's former operational chief, Riduan Isamuddin (better known as Hambali), who was captured in Thailand in 2003.[1]
Death
On 9 November 2005, Indonesian police, acting on a tip-off, located Azahari. They conducted a raid on one of his hideouts in Batu, near Malang in East Java with Detachment 88 operators sent to assist regular police officers. Three suspected jihadist terrorists barricaded themselves inside a house and they put up stiff resistance, throwing grenades and firing bullets at the police outside. This was followed by a series of explosions, one of which was a suicide blast by his assistant setting off his bomb vest.[3] Police identified the intact corpse of Azahari, with a bullet wound in his chest.[4][5] Azahari was shot and killed by a police sniper, after which one of his disciples blew himself up to prevent him from being taken alive.
