Karim Thami el-Mejjati[4] (October 30, 1967 – April 2005) was a Moroccan-French[5] convicted terrorist who has been claimed to have aided the Riyadh compound bombings, the 2003 Casablanca bombings, the 2004 Madrid train bombings and the 2005 London bombings as member of the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group.[6][7]

He was killed, along with his 11-year-old son, by Saudi authorities in a series of raids in April 2005. His wife maintains that he was not connected to all the attacks but insinuates that he had arranged attacks against Saudi Arabia, provoking their anger.[3]
