Apparently there was a prominent terrorist back in the nineties who used the alias Abu Hafs al-Masri (his real name was Mohammed Atef).

He was killed by an USAF air-strike during the invasion of Afghanistan which sealed his legend. Now he’s like the James Dean or Tupac Shakur of Islamic terrorism and all the up-and-comers are calling themselves something like Abu Bob al-Masri or Abu Fred al-Masri.
