Jaad el-Kaleel (1961 - April 26, 2022) was a Jaginistani terrorist known for being the leader of Al-Fijar from October 2020 until April 2022, succeeding Mukhtar Babu Ubair after his death at the hands of a Zamastanian airstrike on September 29th, 2020. El-Kaleel was labeled as the 'most-wanted person' by multiple countries, most prominently being the security council member states of the Coalition of Crown Albatross. The ZIS offered a Z$40 million reward for information or intelligence leading to his capture.
In early September of 2021, following the Barona Mall bombing in Lower Tariel, the anthrax attacks in Lerbin, and multiple other attacks internationally within a short span of time, el-Kaleel called on al-Fijar to attack "supporters of the Jaginistan government", alluding to the member states of the Coalition of Crown Albatross. In April 2022, he was located by the ZIS and AIA in the northwestern mountain region of Jaginistan, and was subsequently killed in an airstrike. Following his death, al-Fijar's leadership largely fractured, but lone-wolf inspired attacks continued internationally.
Personal life
Early life
Jaad Mohammed el-Kaleel was born on March 12, 1961, in Haruya, Jaginistan to Muhammed el-Kaleel and Humaira el-Salim. The el-Kaleel family was considered "distinguished" in Haruya.

El-Kaleel married his first wife, Fatima, in 1976 when he was 15. Fatima and Jaad's first son, Kaamil, were killed in a Beleroskovian airstrike during the Jaginistan Civil War. El-Kaleel currently has three wives, named Qisma, Raheema, and Hasnaa. He has had at least seven children; Farajallah, Kaamil, Jaasir, Mahdi, Mohammed, Musaaid, and Wisaam.

Commandership
Emir of Al-Fijar
Following the Air Andaluni bombing in September of 2020, the Zamastanian government assassinated Mukhtar Babu Ubair. Jaad el-Kaleel assumed the role of leader after word of Babu Ubair's death was revealed. In retaliation for the killing of Babu Ubair, hidden cells of Al-Fijar operatives began a campaign of attacks across the world, the first being on October 1st when three suicide attackers bombed the VMS Confianca in Davenport, Vitosium, killing 45 people. Another attack occured on October 4th, when a terrorist killed 14 people in Tofino, Zamastan. Major counter-terrorism operations ensued, largely focused on rooting out sleeper cells and growing the interconnected intelligence network across agencies around the globe.
Following the end of the Hisrea War in Zalluabed, the Irsani branch which had historical ties to the founding of al-Fijar's foreign networks outside of Jaginistan, pledged allegiance to al-Fijar. On August 26th, 2021, the Irsani network committed their first terror attack as a division of al-Fijar, bombing the Saint Raneau International Airport and killing 12 people in Albarine at the reported direction of el-Kaleel. On September 2nd, 2021, al-Fijar began a new terror campaign as their most broad to date, when the Barona Mall bombing occurred in Lower Tariel, Northern Isle, Zamastan, killing 68 and injuring 312 people. That same day, a suicide bombing attack was carried out against foreign tourists in Bennom, Qolaysia, killing 119 people. An attack the following day aboard an Air Emmiria flight in Kuye killed 52 people. On September 4th, more than 800 people died in anthrax attacks on the Lerbin metro systems. On September 6th, 2021, Jaad el-Kaleel released a video manifesto calling on al-Fijar operatives to carry out attacks across the Coalition of Crown Albatross.
To the followers of Islam and the soldiers of Allah, it is time to destroy the Coalition, to take up arms against the invaders of Jaginistan and Jiddiya and the holy sites of Emmiria, and to never give out until we have poured our lives into the decimation of the infidel. We will destroy Novada, a heart of Durnstaal's demons, and their wicked endorsement of the massacre of our Jaginistani brothers. We will attack and claim victory over infidels in Ledua once again until the sores of Quetana are lapped by dogs. We will burn the imperial demons in Tofino out of their illustrious skyscrapers and see them crumble. In the pristine waters of the holy land of Emmiria, we will drown the betrayers of our people.
To Sulaiman, the occupier of the holiest mosques, your time has come. To Moreau, the pervasive dictator of the so-called Coalition, your time has come. To Kennard, the corrupted stain of the heavenly islands, your time has come. To Herzog, the manipulator of the Muslim Adula, your time has come. To Raso, the empowerer of sin, your time has come. To Brafeo, the wrongful dealer of greed, your time has come. To al-Akhtar, the ultimate betrayer, your time has come. To all those who endorse the global coalition, this Coalition of Crown Albatross, you will find yourselves begging for the end. You will find yourselves on the end of our sword. You will find yourselves on your knees before al-Fijar and Allah, willing that He gives us this strength, you will be defeated and drowned in your blood."Jaad el-Kaleel, El-Kaleel's Manifesto [1]
Location and death
Once his position as leader of al-Fijar became known to intelligence communities, the Zamastanian Intelligence Service began an extensive process of locating him. In March 2022, the ZIS and AIA located el-Kaleel's top aide and tracked him from Haruya and was observed within a mountainside compound at an altitude of nearly 15,000 feet in the Archissma Alps, 40 miles west of the city. On April 26th, 2022, el-Kaleel was killed in an airstrike as a Z-17 Condor which took off from a base in Tasiastan dropped precision lazer-guided bombs on the compound. Multiple of his most senior commanders and advisors were also killed in the strike. El-Kaleel's death was confirmed by a public statement posted online by al-Fijar a month later.
