Abu Yahya al-Libi ((アラビア語:أبو يحيى الليبي), ; c. 1963,〔 Marzaq – June 4, 2012), born Mohamed Hassan Qaid, was an Islamist terrorist and leading high-ranking official within al-Qaeda, and an alleged member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.〔〔New York Times, (Rising Leader for Next Phase of Al Qaeda’s War ), April 4, 2008〕〔Scheuer, Michael F. (Part1 ) and (Part 2 )〕 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,〔〔BBC News: (Key 'al-Qaeda militant' surfaces )〕 and Hassan Qaed al-Far.〔(SITE Intel Group: SITE Publications – Names and Information of Twelve Detainees in Bagram Prison in Afghanistan from Sheikh Abu Yehia al-Libi )〕 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 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.〔http://news.siteintelgroup.com/component/content/article/6-jihadist-news/510-al-qaeda-official-addresses-libyans〕 The United States targeted him with a drone strike on June 4, 2012 in Mir Ali where he was killed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=White House: Al Qaeda No. 2 leader is dead )〕 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. ==Background== The nisba patronymic of "al-Libi" suffixed to his name indicates that the bearer or his ancestors were from Libya. Al-Libi was born 1963,〔 but Scheuer believes there is little "information available about al-Libi beyond his record as an insurgent",〔"Interview with Abu Yahya al-Libi," http://www.tajdeed.org, June 21, 2006, referenced in Scheuer, Michael F. (Part1 ) and (Part 2 )〕 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. 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 90's, 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" (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.”〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abu Yahya al-Libi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
