Abdul Aziz Yamulki (21 December 1890 – 25 July 1981) was the son of Mustafa Yamulki, nephew of Said Pasha Kurd and Kurd Ahmet Izzet Pasha and a cousin of Şerif Pasha and Kurd Fuad Pasha.

Yamulki was born into a prominent family from Sulaymaniah; Aziz was raised in a privileged environment and moved to Constantinople, where lived in his uncle's Said Pasha Kurd's palace and attended the Ottoman military academy. His father had returned to his native Sulaymaniah after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Aziz would later join the Iraqi military.

Aziz had drawn up four plans to carry out the assassination, the first, was to kill him at the Mosul Rest House, the second, at his brother's house, the third, by an attack on Bakr's car on his way to Tel-Kutchuk and finally the master plan at the Military club where it was planned to entertain Bakr in the evening of the day of his arrival. Aziz Yamulki, then president of the club, was to give a secret signal and the assassination was to take place when the lights were to be put out.^[1]
