Nazih Abdul-Hamed Nabih al-Ruqai'i,[name 1] known by the alias Abu Anas al-Libi[2] (/ˈɑːbuː ˈɑːnɑːs ɑːl ˈliːbi/ AH-boo AH-nahs ahl LEE-bee; Arabic: ابو أنس الليبي Libyan pronunciation: [ˈæbu ˈʔænæs əlˈliːbi]; 1964 – 2 January 2015), was a Libyan under indictment[3] in the United States for his part in the 1998 United States embassy bombings. He worked as a computer specialist for al-Qaeda.[4] He was an ethnic Libyan, born in Tripoli.[5]
His aliases in the indictment are Nazih al Raghie and Anas al Sebai. In the FBI and United States State Department wanted posters,[1][6] another variant of his name is transliterated Nazih Abdul Hamed Al-Raghie.
The indictment accused al-Libi of surveillance of potential British, French, and Israeli targets in Nairobi, in addition to the American embassy in that city, as part of a conspiracy by al-Qaeda and Egyptian Islamic Jihad.
