Abu yahya al libi biography examples

Abu Yahya al-Libi, who officials in Pakistan and the US say was the target of a US drone strike on June 4 in Pakistan’s North Waziristan region, is said to be one of the most senior figures in al-Qaeda.

Libi, reportedly born in 1963, made repeated appearances on al-Qaeda videos and wrote prolifically, becoming one of the group’s most prominent media warriors.

Administration officials said that he was killed in the drone strike along with more than a dozen other people.

According to his profile on a US Department of State “most wanted” website, Libi was “a key motivator in the global jihadi movement and his messages convey a clear threat to US persons or property worldwide”.

It also described Libi as an “Islamic scholar”.

The US has offered a $1 million reward for information leading to Libi‘s arrest, but in a public service announcement had offered “up to $5 million” for such intelligence at one point.
