a fictional character from the best selling novel Yacoubian Building

the son of the building doorman, he excelled in school and hoped to be admitted to the Police Academy but found that his father's profession, considered too lowly by the generals conducting his character interview, was an obstacle to admission; disaffected, he enrolls at the University and eventually joins a militant Islamist organization modeled upon the Jamaa Islamya

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yacoubian_Building

he joined the militant group after he was tortured and raped by a SSI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Security_Intelligence) officer....the final scene of the movie (and in this short clip) is the assassination scene......a great scene which received much applause by the viewers in the cinemas

this is the first time ever a Jihadi character is portrayed in a positive light in the Egyptian cinema
