Saleh Al-Qaraawi (Arabic: صالح القرعاوي) is a Saudi militant Jihadist.[1]
Background
Al-Qaraawi fought in the Iraqi Insurgency alongside Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.[2] He was a founder of the militant Abdullah Azzam Brigades in 2009, which has carried out a number of attacks in the Middle East.[3] He was identified as the leader of Al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia by Saudi Arabian security officials in a 3 February 2009 list of their 85 most wanted.[1]
In December 2011, the US State Department listed him as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist[2]
Al-Qaraawi was arrested on 9 June 2012 after returning to Saudi Arabia from Pakistan where he had been wounded in a drone strike.[4][5]
