The US government called the killing of Abu Yahya al-Libi, who had survived
previous attacks, a serious blow to a group in which it said he played a key
role forging links with young potential recruits.
Libi, a cleric whose real name was Mohamed Hassan Qaid, escaped from US
custody in Afghanistan in 2005 and on at least one previous occasion was
prematurely reported to have been killed in a US drone strike.
Libi also attacked the United States and the West, saying they did not have
good intentions for Syria.
“Since when have the United States, United Nations and West been keen to
protect lives of Muslims,” he asked. Have the West’s observers and
missions helped (the Syrian people)?”
