Atiyah Abd Al Rahman (Arabic: دبع ةيطع نمحرلا) is purported by the US State Department[1] to be a senior member of al-Qaeda and a member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and Ansar al-Sunna. His name may be rendered in English as Atiyah Abdur-rahman or Atiyah Abdul-Rahman or in other ways. He is thought[2] to be the "Atiyah" who wrote a commanding letter[3] to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in December of 2005. The State Department announcement says that Abd Al Rahman • is a Libyan in his late 30’s (which puts his date of birth roughly at 1970)
