Hasan Mahsum (Uyghur: ھەسەن مەخسۇم/Hesen Mexsum; Chinese: 艾山·买合苏木, Pinyin: Àishān Măihésūmù; also transliterated: Hassan Maksum; born in Shule County, Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang, China in 1964 and died in South Waziristan on 2 October 2003), also known as Abu-Muhammad al-Turkestani and Ashan Sumut, founded and led the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, an Islamic terrorist organization affiliated with Al Qaeda, until the Pakistani Army shot and killed him in a counter-terrorism operation on 2 October 2003. He is an Uyghur.
Death
The Pakistani army attacked an al-Qaeda hideout in South Waziristan near the border with Afghanistan on 2 October 2003. They shot and killed eight terrorists, including Mahsum. The Beijing News and International Herald Leader initially reported that the United States worked with Pakistan in a joint counter-terrorism operation, but Major General Shaukat Sultan, spokesman for the Pakistani military, denied U.S. troop involvement. Sultan said "DNA tests were conducted to determine it was him." The Chinese government helped identify his body.
