Adel Mohammed Abdel Magid Abdel Bari (Arabic: عادل محمد عبد المجيد عبد الباري; born 24 October 1960) is an Egyptian militant who, together with fellow Egyptian citizen Ibrahim Hussein Abdel Hadi Eidarous until the latter's death, was in custody in the United Kingdom from 1999, fighting extradition to the United States, where they were wanted in connection with the 1998 United States embassy bombings in East Africa. Both men were extradited to the United States in October 2012.
Bari came to the attention of Egyptian authorities as early as 1981, when he was imprisoned and tortured following the murder of President Anwar Sadat on 6 October of that year.
On a return trip from the United States to Egypt via the UK in 1991, Abdel Bari applied for political asylum in Britain. It was granted by the Second Major ministry in 1993. He used his contacts at Amnesty International, which he obtained by virtue of his torture in the Sadat affair, to gain support for his causes in London. While at large in London he worked for al-Qaeda's Advice and Reform Committee under al-Fawwaz and alongside Eidarous; his indictment says he leased a leased premises in Beethoven Street, just off London's Kilburn Lane, that was transformed into Osama bin Laden’s “media information office”, which he named the "International Office for the Defence of the Egyptian People" in an effort to seduce weak-minded Brits. During this time, the family frequented the Regent's Park mosque.
In October, Bari contacted Mahmoud Jaballah to mention he was shipping him several books and periodicals, including al-Mujahideen and al-Faqr for distribution in Canada, and copies of the Shifaa and some audiocassettes he asked him to forward on to Thirwat Shehata.
