Timeline

1963

Abu Yahya al-Libi (أبو يحيى الليبي, ; January 1, 1963, Marzaq – June 4, 2012), born Mohamed Hassan Qaid, was a terrorist and leading high-ranking official within al-Qaeda, and an alleged member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.

He is believed to have been able to speak Urdu, Pashto and Arabic and to have used the aliases Hasan Qaiid (Hasan Qayad or Hassan Qayid), Yunis al-Sahrawi, and Hassan Qaed al-Far.

Al-Libi was a citizen of Libya, who was held in extrajudicial detention in the Bagram interim detention facility.

At that time, American counter-terrorism analysts asserted that al-Libi was a member of al Qaeda.

Al-Libi was born 1963, but Michael Scheuer stated there is little "information available about al-Libi beyond his record as an insurgent", His elder brother, Abd al-Wahhab Muhammad Qaid (Abu Idris al-Libi) is one of the most senior members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and currently the head of the National Border Guard for southern Libya.

1990

Al-Libi went to Afghanistan in the early 1990s and whilst bin Laden was an engineer and al-Zwahiri a doctor, al-Libi is said to have been an Islamic scholar who "spent two years in Africa studying Islam".

It is believed that after going to Afghanistan in the 1990s, he "was sent back to northern Africa to study Islam in Mauritania."

As detailed below, he was imprisoned by both Pakistani and U.S. authorities.

He claimed to have studied Islamic law, history and jurisprudence "for years among excellent and great scholars" who were in the field with al-Qaeda and other Islamist insurgent groups.

It is stated that "When he returned two years later" [from his Islamic studies in Mauritania, Africa], "Afghanistan was no longer a battleground for militant Libyans, but rather a haven: the Taliban controlled most of the country. Mr. Libi's training in warfare was minimal, and his early work as a preacher rarely touched on militant action, according to the Libyan man who said he had met Mr. Libi in Afghanistan, and who spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns. "He started to visit training camps and talk about Shariah," or Islamic law, this man said in a telephone interview, about "morals, etiquette, how to act."

Al-Libi was a citizen of Libya, who was captured by ISAF forces in the Invasion of Afghanistan, a year after 9/11 (Pakistani authorities and turned over to American authorities, who eventually put him in the Bagram prison.) and was held in extrajudicial detention in the Bagram interim detention facility.

American counter-terrorism analysts assert that al-Libi was a member of al Qaeda.

2005

Al-Libi was one of several high-profile Bagram captives who escaped on the night of July 10, 2005.

Jarret Brachman, a former analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), states of al-Libi:

"He’s a warrior. He’s a poet. He’s a scholar. He’s a pundit. He’s a military commander. And he’s a very charismatic, young, brash rising star within Al-Qaeda, and I think he has become the heir apparent to Osama bin Laden in terms of taking over the entire global jihadist movement."

Scheuer states of him that he "in the last year or so emerged as al-Qaeda's theological hardliner" and an "insurgent-theologian".

He was also an official on al-Qaeda's Shariah Committee.

Al-Libi was one of several high-profile Bagram captives who escaped on the night of July 10, 2005.

Early reports on the 2005 escape from Bagram Airbase included al-Libi's name as one of the escapees.

Posters around the airbase identified "the Libyan, Mohammad Hassan Abu Bakar" as one of the escapees, but did not mention high-ranking al-Qaeda leader Omar al-Faruq as one of the escapees.

Later reports removed the Libyan from the list of escapes and inserted al-Faruq.

On November 4, 2005, al-Libi appeared in a Ramadan video on the Arabic television station al-Arabiya, and mentioned that he had escaped from Bagram.

2006

He was re-listed as an escapee, and as of October 2006 was listed among the Department of Defense's "Most Wanted", and a Terrorist Recognition Card repeated the earlier claim that he was indeed among the four escapees.

In addition, the name off the Airbase posters was added as an "alias".

Al-Libi produced a series of propaganda videos.

2007

On May 30, 2007, a 45-minute video, starring al-Libi came to light.

2008

On June 22, 2008, Abu Yahia Al Libi released a 19-minute video urging Somalis to resist United Nations forces in Somalia.

Bryant Neal Vinas, an American, took part in 2008 with other masked fighters in an al-Qaeda propaganda video featuring al Libi.

Vinas was captured in November 2008, and pleaded guilty in January to conspiracy to murder and to receiving military training from Al Qaeda murder and providing them with material support.

2009

Al-Libi also appeared in a July 2009 video from al-Sahab entitled, "Swat: Victory or Martyrdom," about the Pakistani military's campaign against Pashtun militias and jihadi groups in the Swat Valley.

It was reported by Pakistani sources on December 11, 2009, that Abu Yahya al-Libi was killed in a U.S Drone strike in Pakistan; however, later reports identified the man killed as Saleh al-Somali.

2011

On March 12, 2011, al-Libi urged his countrymen to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi's regime and establish Islamic rule, expanding the terror network's attempts to capitalize on the wave of unrest sweeping the region.

That was put on in a video posted on a militant website.

TIP's "Islamic Turkistan" magazine in its 5th edition published an article by Al Qaeda member Abu Yayha al Libi who wrote in support of "Turkistan".

Al-Qaeda member Abu Yahya al-Libi spoke in support of "Jihad" in "East Turkestan" against China.

2012

He was the target of a US drone strike on June 4, 2012, in Mir Ali.

His death was later confirmed by the al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a video released in September 2012 to coincide with the 9/11 anniversary.

The nisba patronymic of "al-Libi" suffixed to his name indicates that the bearer or his ancestors were from Libya.

On June 5, 2012, U.S. officials confirmed that Libi was among 15 militants killed the previous day when a US drone fired four missiles at a compound in Mir Ali, North Waziristan.

Additionally, The White House later confirmed it.
