Abdullah Said al-Libi (died 17 December 2009) was described as being an al Qaeda operational leader in Pakistan.[1][2] He is reported to have previously served in the Libyan military.[3] He led an al-Qaeda paramilitary force.[4] Said al-Libi was killed in a drone strike on 17 December 2009 in North Waziristan.[5][6] In April 2009 he had released a statement where he identified himself as the leader of al Qaeda's efforts to take control of Khorasan - an ancient Islamic province that included Afghanistan, Pakistan, and some neighboring areas.
According to Joby Warrick, the author of The Triple Agent, al Libi had lived with Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, who would later convince Central Intelligence Agency officers that he was their double agent within al Qaeda, only to detonate a suicide bomb, killing several of them.[4] His suicide bombing is said to have been in retaliation for the killing of al Libi, Abu Saleh al Somali and Baitullah Mehsud.[3]
