Abdullah Yusuf Azzam cause of death

In 1989, Sheikh Abdullah Azzam was killed in a car bombing.

Therefore, as part of a conspiracy, Sheikh Abdullah Azzam was martyred in a car bomb explosion in Peshawar in 1989 while he was coming to the mosque to offer Friday prayers. His two young sons were also martyred with him. Abdullah Azzam played a key role in turning the large number of Arab Mujahideen into a major fighting force at that time. After the martyrdom of Sheikh Azzam, all this responsibility fell on Sheikh Osama.

Sheikh Azzam was buried at the Jalozai refugee camp in Nowshera district.
