EXCLUSIVE: Senior al Qaeda figure 'living in Libyan capital'
By Tim Lister and Paul Cruickshank
A veteran al Qaeda operative indicted in connection with the bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa is alive and well in Libya, according to Western intelligence sources.

Abu Anas al Libi, 48, has been seen in the capital, Tripoli, the sources say, and there is concern that he may have been tasked with establishing an al Qaeda network in Libya. It's unclear whether Libya's government is aware of his presence, or whether it has been approached by Western governments seeking al Libi's arrest.
One Libyan official told CNN he didn't know whether al Libi was back in Tripoli but was aware that he had been in Afghanistan.
Counterterrorism analysts tell CNN that al Libi may not have been apprehended because of the delicate security situation in much of Libya, where former jihadists - especially those who once belonged to the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group - hold considerable sway. He is wanted in the United States, but there is no extradition treaty between the U.S. and Libya.
Alternatively, al Libi may have dropped off the radar screen, as have several jihadist leaders in Libya - some of whom have previously been associated with al Qaeda.
Just when al Libi returned home is unclear. According to one intelligence source, he appears to have arrived in Tripoli in the spring of last year, amid Libya's civil war. According to this source, a Western intelligence agency had placed al Libi under surveillance and had taken photographs of him. But back in December 2010, before the outbreak of unrest, Libyan authorities told the United Nations al Qaeda Sanctions Committee that al Libi had returned, even providing a Tripoli street address for him.
Whether he is still active in jihadist circles is unclear.
In August, a report prepared by the U.S. Federal Research Division for the Library of Congress said that while al Libi's whereabouts were unknown, he was "most likely involved in al Qaeda strategic planning and coordination between AQSL (al Qaeda Senior Leadership) and Libyan Islamist militants who adhere to al Qaeda's ideology."
Intel quickly saw signs of al Qaeda links in consulate attack
Whatever his current activities, al Libi's return to Libya is likely to heighten concern about the growing role of jihadist groups there after the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. CNN has been told of no evidence linking al Libi to the attack.
In the 1990s, al Libi was regarded as one of al Qaeda's most capable operatives - an expert in surveillance and computers. His role within the organization came to light through testimony from a fellow al Qaeda operative who described al Libi's visit to the Kenyan capital of Nairobi in 1993. He is alleged to have conducted surveillance of possible Western targets, including the U.S. Embassy.
Five years later, on August 7, 1998, al Qaeda attacked the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, killing more than 200 people. In 2001, al Libi was indicted in U.S. federal court for his alleged role in the attacks. U.S. authorities offered $5 million for information leading to his apprehension or conviction. But by then, he was on the run.
Al Libi's real name is Nazih Abd al Hamid al Ruqhay. He joined al Qaeda soon after its founding, when the group was building a presence in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Much of what is publicly known about his role in al Qaeda during the 1990s comes from the testimony of L'houssaine Kherchtou, a Moroccan al Qaeda operative who knew al Libi.
Kherchtou told a federal court in 2001 that al Libi had impressed other al Qaeda operatives with his mastery of computers. And when Osama bin Laden relocated to Khartoum in Sudan in 1992, al Libi followed. It was at about this time that bin Laden began to think of attacking U.S. targets, because of the deployment of U.S. peacemakers to Somalia.
After his surveillance trip to Nairobi, al Libi left al Qaeda because the regime of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was pressuring the Sudanese government to expel about 20 Libyans involved with the group and based in Khartoum. But he joined the jihadist Libyan Islamic Fighters Group before moving to Qatar and then Britain.
He settled in Manchester before a police raid on his home in 2000.
That raid was in response to intelligence suggesting that al Libi might have links to international terrorism, according to sources familiar with the investigation. It uncovered a document that became known as the "Manchester Manual" - hundreds of pages of guidance on carrying out a terrorist campaign. One of the things the document advocated was "attacking, blasting, and destroying" embassies.
But by the time police launched the raid, al Libi had slipped out of the country, according to intelligence sources.
After leaving Britain, al Libi is thought to have spent some time in Afghanistan, and to have reconnected with al Qaeda, before fleeing to Iran after the fall of the Taliban. Western intelligence sources say they believed he remained in Iran for almost a decade before returning to Libya.
Al Libi is not the only al Qaeda operative back in Libya, nor even the only the one who lived in Manchester in the late 1990s.
As CNN has previously reported, in the spring of 2011, onetime Manchester resident Abdulbasit Azuz was dispatched from the Afghanistan-Pakistan region by al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri to establish a foothold for al Qaeda in Libya. Azuz based himself in Derna in eastern Libya, where he began to recruit fighters, according to counterterrorism sources. In June, a senior Libyan official told CNN that Azuz was one of five radical Islamist militant commanders who were operating in the Derna area, with 200 to 300 men under their command in camps in the area.
Some of those camps have since been abandoned, in part because of growing resentment among local people and in part out of fear that they might be targeted by the United States. CNN reported in June that U.S. surveillance drones had been flying over the region, citing Libyan sources.
The Obama administration has thus far downplayed suggestions that al Qaeda "central" had any role in planning or ordering the Benghazi attack. But U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggested Wednesday that al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb was using its greater freedom of movement in Mali to extend its influence throughout North Africa.
Speaking at the United Nations, she said that "with a larger safe haven and increased freedom to maneuver, terrorists are seeking to extend their reach and their networks in multiple directions."
"And they are working with other violent extremists to undermine the democratic transitions under way in North Africa, as we tragically saw in Benghazi," she added.
Some analysts say it is too early to discount the possibility that the al Qaeda leadership had some advance knowledge of the attack, pointing to a video released the day before the attack in which al Qaeda leader al Zawahiri called on Libyans to attack Americans.
The possible significance of al Zawahiri's message was highlighted in a letter Wednesday from four Republican U.S. senators to Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Criticizing her assertion that the attack was spontaneous rather than planned, Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said there was "a significant network of al Qaeda affiliated groups and other terrorists in eastern Libya."

If they let him out, there's a $5 million opportunity for someone in Libya!
So far, the unnamed intel sources have been feeding pure BS to the press.

WHO FINGERED THE GUY WHO FINGERED THE Al Q TERRORIST
This is a story because Obama's going to invite him to visit the white house to discuss what aid America can continue to be to their continuing struggle in Libya.
and why the F it's a CNN's story? where is our CIA guys? calling CNN for his street address?
Kill him.
wait for it....
"It's unclear whether Libya's government is aware of his presence," .. Pakistan all over...
Very interesting
How many GOP loyalists are going to dump intel to the press while they are being investigated for treason and espionage against the United States, I wonder?
Morris Sadek, and every other person involved in financing, making and promoting that anti-muslim video, was a member of the Republican Party. Is that a coincidence? The terrorists who attacked the consulate were most likely Khadafy supporters. Is it a coincidence that a prominent Republican with connections to Khadafy supporters, met with Karl Rove on Aug 18th, 2012?
Is it a coincidence too, that the terrorists planned the attack in advance, and seemed to know when the film was going to be promoted?
How about this coincidence: The Libyan government shut down a Khadafy supporter cell in Brak just a day or so before we started getting all of these "intel source" stories.
Here's another coincidence for you: Karl Rove was the keynote speaker at a "retreat" hosted by David Horowitz in May. Robert Spencer, who has connections to all the people involved in the making and promoting of the film was there, and for some reason, Horowitz uploaded video of all the speakers at the retreat except one: KARL ROVE.
CNN needs to task someone with laying out a timeline. I'm available for hire, but I'm not cheap.
or particularly smart
Someone reported that he is a member of the democratic party., i hope not
Yet another blossom of the Arab Spring.
Great job "liberating" Libya, kids. Great job. Sheesh.
Would it have been better if Neil C Livingstone had been successful in liberating Khadafy?
hi Alex, how is Rhode Island?
Another example of a naieve Obama foreign policy initiative. We gave Pakistan billions and they hid Bin Laden for 9 years; we bombed Libya and now we have Al QAEDA We supported overthrowing Musharraf in Egypt and now we have the Muslim Brotherhood who are strongly allied with the Palestines. We are supporting karzai in Afghanistan and the terrorists poppy fields harvests are protected and giving the Talibam millions of dollars.
Well put, DC Observer.
You don't have a grasp of the facts. You don't know, apparently, who was the dictator of Egypt for 30 years.
Is it possible that Obama sent Susan Rice, his buddy, out to spread misinformation because Hillary Clinton refused to be a part of his effot to decieve Americans about Al Qaeda's role in the 9/11 Libyan embassy terrorist attack?
@Albert
Does the "A" in your name stand for a n u s or a hole? Or perhaps both?
Once a coc-kroach, always a coc-kroach!
The Democrat Party is the Party of DENIAL (DON'T EVEN NOTICE I AM LYING). Nov. 6 will tell the tale!!!!!
Wow, Albert. Those noises in your head must be really annoying !!!
Ahh...Bob, your assuming he's got something in his head.
You can talk your SMACK after Nov. 6 Fools!!!!!!
WHO FINGERED THIS AL-Q LEADER?
Only looser would want to put him back in the office.
Yeah! It was "The Base" not Lybians!
Tonight I am simply too disgusted by the blatant lie of Obama and his administration regarding the terrorist attack in Libya... so my thoughts are on an ambassador dead, 3 others... and a cover-up blaming a stupid film and freedom of speech to protect the public image of a failed president (on SEPT 11th ANNIVERSARY!!!).
Just unbelievable... shame on the White house and shame of the press
Yes, Valerie Jarrett gets a full contingent of secret service to gaurd her while on vacation in the hamptons (and no she is not a govt. employee) and our ambassador to libya and staff get no one to gaurd them whilst in a hostile country on Sept. 11th. Shame on you Hillary Clinton.
i thought Obama wiped Out AlQaeda single handed?
Don't mind that buzzing above you...it is just a bunch of mosquito's....BANG!!....
Wasn't all this trouble in Libya just workplace violence spawned by a video? His majesty told that to the UN in his milktoast speech.
All of you idiots saying Obama and the White House are LYING by saying that the film Innocence of Muslims was reason for the attack on embassy in Benghazi, Libya need to do research. The film was involved with the attack in one way or another. It may not have been the single guiding motivation but it appears to have played a part. It was certainly a part of the motivation for protests outside embassy in Cairo, Egypt. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that Al Qaeda or some extremist Islamic faction peddled this film to culture indignation and outrage among more extremist Islamic Libyans with Americans. Muslim extremists did the same thing with Danish cartoons in 2006 – when embassies were attacked throughout the Middle East and North Africa, including in Benghazi, Libya.
It is 16 days and counting and President Obama's response has been....pathetic. He refuses to acknowledge that terrorism is alive and well, despite his polices. Do you know how President Clinton responded to the attacks in 1998 on our embassies in Nairobi and Tanzania? He ordered a series of cruise missile attacks on targets in the Sudan and Afghanistan. One is a man of action and the other....a man with a mouth.
I thought there was no more Al Qaeda? His majesty told us Al Quaeda was pretty much non existant anymore and he also told us this arab spring democracy was all about democracy not hating the USA to spawn terrorists? Say it aint so Obama lied? Impossible.
Not quite as mendacious as "mission accomplished", perhaps, but bs just the same. Let's face it – ALL (well, the vast majority) politicians are thieving, lying sociopaths – regardless of ideology.
Wasn't the West that toppled khadaffi's regime?Why is it complaining?I hope the same won't happen in Syria.Unfortunately the possibility of all Middle East falling into islamic fundamentalism is very real.
What I dont get is why the attack there was not labeled as a terrorist attack as it clearly was and happened on 9/11.
It was not labelled a terrorist act because Barack Obama is president, he's running for re election, and this doesn't fit his foreign policy narrative. Dear reader, what this administration says has nothing to do with truth. For Obama, perception is reality. If he can spin a perception, and 51% believe it, he wins.
The Obama Admin will be "re-branding" this "bump in the road" as workplace violence...
Its certainly a tragedy and all killings are acts of terrorism whether it happened in Libya, Syria or in a theatre in Aurora Colorado. But conservatives politicizing this tragedy is appalling especially when we are still loosing Americans in an Afghan war that was deliberately and recklessly abandoned and prolonged for the invasion of Iraq. Let's face it, the GOT has no integrity and no credibility whatsoever.
Hey trailer trash, whats the GOT??? And why are you speaking out of your other anal cavity??????
The only credibility missing is Obama and now most of his administration. We toppled Ghadaffi and it appears he was helping us with Al Queda, go figure. By the way, I'm a democrat and have been for over 40 years.
“It is, I think, self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack" -Sept. 20, Jay Carney White House Press Secretary
Albert and the GOP chipmunks will never lets facts get in the way of a good divisive bit of distraction and dishonesty.
fear mongering never gets old. increase military spending YALL!
Four Americans were murdered by Al Qaeda, with an American Ambassador azz rayped before being killed on the anniversary of 9-11. Reality to you is fearmongering? The purpose of the government is to promote domestic tranquilty and provide for the common defense, not increase dependency on food stamps and resdistribute wealth. Your obvious state of denial reflects poorly on your analytical prowess and judgment.
If there has been a redistribution of wealth, its because the GOP stole from the middle class and line their pockets. Ask Mitt Romney and Bernie madeoff. The only reason why Madeoff wasn't investigated is because the Feds ran by GWB trusted him and believed he was honest and trustworthy while he was ripping off investors and destroying people lives. Do you want to know why Romney don't want to show his tax returns? Its because he was involved in the same ponzi schemes as Madeoff. And by the way, if there are alot of people on food stamps its because the GOP laid them off and shipped their jobs overseas for profit.
Are the Republicannots so interested in scoring political points that they would publicly list US secrets in a letter to the U.S.'s UN ambassador? No, they wouldn't do that, would they? Not just for political gain? Oh, wait, they've done this before. Thus, sadly, the answer is yes, they would – in a heartbeat (bad pun.) Valerie Plame was an active US/CIA agent in Iran whose front company was keeping tabs on Iran's nuclear program until Cheeknee (that is how he pronounces it) outed her. Look at what that act of treason has wrought. (Iran's nuclear program went unchecked for most the eight years of folly known as the Busch years and along with his sandbox in the desert, the Iraq war – which gave the control of the region to Iran – Nice job George)
Now you have SeeNN (that includes you Ms. BurNIt) and the Repugs, both of whom fail to realize that Al Qaeda reads the media (they have the "internets" over there too) and have probably read this article several times over. Of course, the Obama administration knew what really happened in Benghazi/Eastern Libya and I am sure a drone attack is imminent. Or, at least one was, until the media along with the terrorists-aiding Repubs gleefully telling the world; particularly, the terrorists this very article talks about, that we know/knew where they are (now were) so they (al Libi, for example) could disband and disappear into the night. Way to go. I hope your Pulitzer is painted red. Probably no coincidence that the GOP is always represented as red (e.g, Red States) as it is the color of blood.
Republicans "...would publicly list US secrets in a letter to the U.S.'s UN ambassador? No, they wouldn't do that, would they? Not just for political gain?"
For political gain? Sorry, but both parties are guilty of this. This is not unique to Republicans or Democrats.
CNN – Why are you distancing yourselves from this story? This IS News!
Smart,lets broadcast where he is so he can go into hiding
Al Qaeda doesn't exist. It's merely the intelligence codename for anyone in our agency's crosshairs. It's like calling terrorist groups "the bad guys", which we will obviously never run out of.
So...let's roll over and play dead??
Susan Rice is either stupid or covering Barack's hide not to know Al Qaedda.
It is indeed very scary if we also apply this to the creeping destruction of US by internal forces created by the HOPE and CHANGE that Barack unleashed in '08 ! He not only mesmerized the World politics single-handedly, it also prompted Nobel Committee to award him the Peace Prize even without any visible accomplishments aside from his Presidential election ! Such was the lure of Barack with the power of his Words ! Unfortunately for him, his soothing rhetoric to call for an end to violence and division don't apply to the politics he preaches on his campaign trails ! What a big Hypocrite Barack is ! I hope somebody will call his attention to it and expose him for what he really is ! Likewise, we now have a debt total of over $16Trillion that will saddle the country and future generations of heavy tax burdens for years to come. Barack's share of responsibility amounted to $5 Trillion in less than 4 years of his reign to date compared to his predecessor W of a similar $5 Trillion in a longer period of 8 full years ! That is How Barack is slowly destroying the country and this is maybe similar to the slow boiling of Frogs in an Open Pot that will ultimately kill them ! Barack have promised to unite the US, but instead moved to destroy a person long before election season by unleashing Attack Ads against Mitt whom he sees as an out of touch rich man that stood across his path for re-election that must be destroyed before he could even ascend to the stage as a political challenger as early as June, 2012 ! Then he conveniently sided with the Occupiers to counter the gathering strength of Tea par-tiers who saw him as a real divider in 2009 when he arrogantly told GOPs that election has consequences as he ram down his Obamacare without considering the cost it will entail ! Barack may have the gift for soaring rhetoric, but he is an empty vessel without any idea how the real world of business works ! He was easily swayed by the whispers of his underlings who are equally naive of the real world as Solyndra have shown us ! He sided with Environmentalists to pursue unfeasible alternative energy source without understanding the consequence of Corn-based ethanol ! W may not be articulate and frequently fumbles with words, but he never followed the whispers of snake oil salesman that Barack swallowed hook, line and sinker, specially when the go to him bearing campaign donations !
Mitt is a twit, if it's Ryan, he's lying.
You need to list your whole name: plenty stupid!!!! We shall see what happens Nov. 6 when the People of this country unleashes its wrath towards your dud Obama. The polls and the NEWS BIAS networks will mean nothing on this historic day, I predict a landslide for the Governor. Read it and Weep Hollywood and the rest of you Liberal POS.
The President's lead in the polls are widening because Republicans and Independents are finally coming to their senses. Keep rambling your right wing garbage.
Wow. You need a woman or a hobby pronto !!!
The Libyan rebels who overthrew Gadhafi were essentially al Qaeda. NATO and the US were quick and enthusiastic enough to not only ally themselves with them, but also send a large military force to help them in the task. After the killing of Gadhafi and the removal of his government, al Qaeda flags were seen fluttering over government buildings in Tripoli and Benghazi. A parallel situation is happening in Syria; the rebels, with covert Western support, are "al Qaeda in Syria".
It all goes to show that al Qaeda are * N O T * the enemy that has been sold to us in the last 11 years. They are a convenient group, either to support, or blame, when politically expedient, or convenient. The cowardly, lapdog US corporate media have fully enlisted in this program of blackmailing the US public... and as such are collectively guilty of treason.
we knew this already. It is common sense.
The real debate is why the wh is lieng about it ,
1. trying to avoid panic
2. trying to lessen world wide condemnation of muslims for mobbing .
I think the second is more likely. See if it is aq then we get back into the good/bad musslims. Reality is the not so black and white but really grey
...or the white house having to acknowledge a terror attack on Obama's watch right before the election.
Yea but that attack occured half a world away in Libya. The killings of Americans in the Aurora Colorado theatre and at the Seik Temple in Wisconsin happened right here in the U.S. under the President's watch in an election year. So what's your point? Terrorism is terrorism whether it happened in Libya or Syria or in the U.S. and is carried out by al Qaeda or by Americans.
that is stupid. terrorist hold accountability for terrorist attacks not obama. The ideology that drives them holds accountability.
The thing is attacks require a response. Lets call that number 3 instead of trying to leverage the death of a bunch of people and a rioting muslim world wide mob as obamas fault.

The big bombings of the Syrian Military HQ earlier this week were by "suicide bombers". And the US and France and The UK want to support "those people" to overthrow the Assad govt! Yikes!!!!!
Does anyone know the coordinates of his location?
So if the ambassador knew this why did he not get the heck away. Why wait for Obama if you have the information allready?None of this would be going on if we stayed out of Iraq, sadam was not worth 1 american life. Now we have 2 Irans to deal with, great move.
Al Qaeda no longer exists, at least that what we've been told over the last 4 yrs.
I think the word your misquoting is "decimated". Look it up!
Oh, they exist. The CIA sees to that.
Anderson Cooper has finally started reporting on the event but is still carrying water for BO - ever time a talking head tells him that the administration denied it was a terrorist attack because the BO was afraid that it would hurt him in the election AC starts his commentary with "but in all fairness to the president ..." Seriously.
Did someone in the Obama administration come out and say the attack was not a terrorist attack? A rocket blast was unleashed on the compound and people were killed, so what makes you feel that the President is trying to refrain from saying it was a terrorist attack? It is obvious to every one that it was a terrorist attack. Was it friendly fire? I doubt it.
B-S, if there were ever any Al Queda in Libya, obama would have taken action, correct? He would have provided extra security to our emabassy, would have given the protection Amb Stevens requested, he would have never blamed it on a amateurish film, correct? Obviously there were no Al Queda in Libya. Afterall, since hi sintel briefings would have made him aware of these issues, its obvious there were no terrorists in Libya
... and he would have personally lead Seal Team 6 in taking him out!
or blamed Bush
No, no. If the assault fails, then it’s Bush’s fault. First you go for credit, if that fails then you go for the blame game. You’re really not cut out for this politics thing….
Well, you'll have to wallow in your seething, impotent anger for another 4 more years.
Learn to live with it.
"implicated" not "indicated" Please use more than spell check . That, or brush up on your vocabulary.
'indicted' is not indicated as you said. the writer used the appropriate word.
This wont get much attention from the administration. Terrorism is something they want to put behind them. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Why worry about it? Thanks to the media, he's probably long gone.
Almost a year ago Herman Cain talked about al Qaeda being in Libya (and CNN's Anderson Cooper made fun of him about it) So my question, if a pizza ceo running in a Republican primary a year ago new that al Qaeda was in Libya, how come Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration apparently didn't know about it. Slack Mrs. Clinton and Slack Mr. Obama.
Who saw him the Easter Bunny or Santa Claws because until the SEALs see him I'm not interested.
Fox has confirmed Obama knew on day 1 it was a terrorist attack.
FOX news confirmed this yes? No agenda there I guess.
U just can't handle the truth.
It must have been comfirmed by hannity, and you beleave it. What grade are you in, first.
Is Obumbler still pretending Ambassador Chris Stevens was collateral damage in a spontaneous uprising incited by the supposedly blasphemous Youtube video?
The real deal is Obumbler released captured Al Qaeda terrorists from Guantanamo, then with no legal authority toppled Qadafi when all intelligence stated that pro Al Qaeda eastern salafist tribes would fill the vacuum, including the released terrorists. Al Qaeda plotted and executed the rape and murder of Stevens on 9-11. Obumbler is pretending it didn't happen, his subordinates are intentionally deceiving the viewing public, and the media gives him a free ride. Obumbler creates an Al Qaeda state in North Africa, and silence follows. Scandalous.
You think your little twist on words is so clever, yet it just makes it that much more apparent how laughable your whole post actually is. Of course you would never spot the irony, nor would anyone expect you to.
Jack ...now you know what he was trying to say ...so button up your mouth !
And in other news, the President's lead in the polls is widening. Keep babbling your right wing garbage.
And the attack that killed our Ambassador and two Navy Seals was known by the Obama administration to be an act of terror almost immediately something they shamefully denied for a week. It's also sad that CNN no longer appears to care about news and is not currently covering this important story.
