Othman Senhaji (April 21 1953 - April 12 1992) was a Salamati officer, loyalist, and close friend of Jalil Al Kharrabi. He was the leader of the 5th "Othmani" brigade, which was involved in the Abu Jalal genocide. Senhaji remained loyal to Al Kharrabi, and when the army overthrew Al Kharrabi, he ran into hiding. He was captured on March 31 1992 and was executed less than two weeks later, due to his close connections with Jalil Al Kharrabi.
