Abdul Qader al-Najdi

Abdul Qader al-Najdi, also known as Abu Muaz al-Tikriti, is an Iraqi Islamic militant and the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in Libya.

History

He is sometimes confused as being Saudi Arabian due to the 'al-Najdi' in his name (Najd being a region of Saudi Arabia), but he is an Iraqi from the city of Tikrit as indicated by his kunya. He is not to be confused with Abu Habib al-Jazrawi, a deceased Saudi IS leader in Libya.

He replaced Abu Nabil al-Anbari who was killed in November 2015.[1] His appointment was announced in the IS newsletter al-Naba in March 2016.[2] A July 2018 UN report confirmed he is still alive and leading the group.[3]
