Yassir al-Sudani , , also known as Yasser Youssef Amarat or Abu Yassir, was a Mujahid Emir (commander) fighting in Chechnya. Most Russian language sources report he was a Jordanian citizen.

Rebel Activity Reportedly an explosives expert who specialized in the preparation of suicide bombers, al-Sudani is said to have traveled to the Caucasus region in 2003, serving in the State Defense Committee - or Majilis al-Shura - of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. Following the death of Abu Hafs al-Urduni in November 2006, al-Sudani was reportedly one of the candidates to succeed him as Emir of the Arab Mujahideen in Chechnya. its targets were allegedly Muhannad, al-Sudani and Chechen field commander Khuseyn Gakayev. Al-Sudani was among a group of Islamic radicals detected and then surrounded in a densely forested area on 8 June; and someone that Ramzan Kadyrov claimed never left his side, leading to suspicion that the Sudanese commander had been among those killed. The following day an insurgent captured after the battle said that al-Sudani had been seriously wounded and shortly thereafter died; he also said that the militants had buried al-Sudani themselves, before leading Russian security forces to the site of his grave.
