Abu Munir, 62, was the most important sheikh or religious voice in the Sinai militant movement. He was said by the authorities to lead Takfir wil-Hijra, a long-standing al-Qaeda-linked group, and was also associated with Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, a militant variant which has emerged in the last two years leading an insurgency in the Sinai against the Egyptian military.
He was personally sought in connection with the ambush and killing of 25 police recruits removed from the bus taking them on leave in August.
