[edit] Birth date

The BBC citation of al-Libi being born in 1941 has to be completely wrong. Video screen captures of him in a television interview, dated April 2007, show the smooth-skinned face of a young man. If he had been born in 1941, he'd have been 66 in 2007. Age 41 in 2008 seems more likely. Therefore, he must have been born about 1967. —QuicksilverT @ 03:15, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Sounds convincing to me. Can you show us what video clips or captures you're pointing to though? Evercat (talk) 03:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree, that was just the first thing I found before the DIA info that he was 41. Joshdboz (talk) 12:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
