Breaking: al-Libi Found Dead in Libyan Prison
“The Arabic media is ablaze with the news that Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, the emir of an Afghan training camp — whose claim that Saddam Hussein had been involved in training al-Qaeda operatives in the use of chemical and biological weapons was used to justify the invasion of Iraq — has died in a Libyan jail. So far, however, the only English language report is on the Algerian website Ennahar Online, which reported that the Libyan newspaper Oea stated that al-Libi (aka Ali Abdul Hamid al-Fakheri) ‘was found dead of suicide in his cell,’ and noted that the newspaper had reported the story ‘without specifying the date or method of suicide.’”
“This news resolves, in the grimmest way possible, questions that have long been asked about the whereabouts of Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, perhaps the most famous of ‘America’s Disappeared’ — prisoners seized in the ‘War on Terror,’ who were rendered not to Guantnamo but to secret prisons run by the CIA or to the custody of governments in third countries %u201
