Manaf Abd al-Rahim al-Rawi


Manaf Abd al-Rahim al-Rawi was a senior Iraqi leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, acting as its "governor" for Baghdad province.
Al-Rawi was arrested on March 11, 2010 by Iraqi security forces. Iraqi government sources claimed al-Rawi was responsible for planning multiple-vehicle bombings in Baghdad. Under interrogation, he reportedly gave authorities information which led to the killing of the group's top two leaders, Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, in April 2010. He was later convicted of terrorism and was executed on April 1, 2013.
