Alleged actions
Known to carry a Yemeni passport[4] and referred to as the "ghost man", Siyam was accused of overseeing a failed attempt to kill the warden of Turah prison, as well as Interior Minister Hasan al-Alfi.[2] He was also involved in one of the plots to assassinate Hosni Mubarak.[2]
Death
On April 9, Egyptian General Raouf Khairat was assassinated in Cairo, leading to retaliatory raids against suspected militants.[5]
Siyam's death was alternately reported to have occurred on April 4, before the General was even killed,[6] or on April 21, eight days after his own death was announced by Interior Minister al-Alfi.[5][7][8]
A cache of explosives and small arms was said to have been seized in the raid.[9]
Aftermath
Siyam had a daughter who in turn married Isam Muhammad Khalil.[2]
