Muhsin Al libi (born 1966 or 1969), frequently known as Ibrahim muhsin (also spelt Ibraheem muhsen), is an alleged Libyan Al-Qaeda leader.
He is also connected with the alias "Ibrahim Ali Abu Bakr" as well as many other aliases including "Abdalmushi", "Abdel Ilah Sabri" and "Abu Anas".[1]
He is currently believed to be leading forces of the "Western Shield" Islamist armed group. He was reportedly involved in the capture of a base called Camp 27 from the Libyan National Army in April 2014.[2]

On 20 December 2000, a grand jury in the Southern District of New York, the United States, returned an indictment against Tantoush in the case of the United States v. Usama bin Laden, et al. The five suspects were charged with the overall conspiracy to kill United States nationals and engage in other actions. Tantoush was, in particular, alleged to have been involved in the bombings of the United States Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in August 1998.[5]
He has also been linked to the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.
