| - Essam Al-Qamari (Arabic: عصام القمري, alias Zakariyya) was a decorated tank commander and Major in the Egyptian army who smuggled weapons and ammunition from army strongholds for al-Jihad as a "disciple" of the late Sayyid Qutb. In February 1981, Egyptian police arrested a man smuggling weapons who was carrying a map of the military's tank placements.

Meanwhile, he acquired a number of hand grenades for Abbud al-Zumar, and experimented trying to build a timer-detonator using a fan and a broken light bulb, although it failed. He later strenuously opposed Omar Abdel-Rahman's leadership of al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya with other jihadist groups following the assassination of Anwar Sadat. In 1988, he escaped from prison along with and , ostensibly aided by . When Ayman al-Zawahiri was arrested, he was immediately asked the whereabouts of al-Qamari and told them he was staying at the Gamaliyya turnery.

He was arrested while performing the Nafl salat. (en)
