Abu Yahia al-Libi is a citizen of Libya, who was held in extrajudicial detention in the Bagram interim detention facility.[1] American counter-terrorism analysts assert that al-Libi was a member of al Qaeda.
Al-Libi was one of several high-profile Bagram captives who escapted in 2005.[1]
Al-Libi has produced a series of propaganda videos.[1] On May 30, 2007 a 45 minute video, starring al-Libi came to light.
