Wikipedia description:

Muhammad Abd al-Salam Faraj (Arabic: محمد عبد السلام فرج, Egyptian Arabic: [mæˈħæm.mæd ʕæb.des.sæˈlæːm ˈfɑɾaɡ]; 1954 – 15 April 1982) was an Egyptian radical Islamist and theorist. He led the Cairo branch of the Islamist group al-Jihad (also Tanzim al-Jihad) and made a significant contribution in elevating the role of jihad in radical Islam with his pamphlet The Neglected Obligation (also The Neglected Duty). He was executed in 1982 for his role in coordinating the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat the previous year.
