Nasir Abdel Karim al-Wuhayshi (Arabic: ناصر عبد الكريم الوحيشي‎ Nasir ʿbd al-Karim al-Wahishi; also transliterated as Naser al-Wahishi, Nasser al-Wuhayshi), alias Abu Basir,^[5] was a citizen of Yemen and the leader of the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).^[6]^[7]^[8] Both Saudi Arabia and Yemen considered al-Wuhayshi to be among their most wanted fugitives.^[9]^[10] In October 2014, the US State Department increased the reward for any information leading to the capture or killing of al-Wuhayshi to US$10 million, the same as ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.^[11] Wuhayshi was killed in a US drone strike in the Hadhramaut Governorate of Yemen on 12 June 2015.^[12]^[13]

Early life, Afghanistan and al-Qaeda

Nasir al-Wuyayshi was born on 1 October 1976 in the Mukayras region of what is now the southern province of al-Bayda, Yemen. He spent time in religious institutions in Yemen before travelling to Afghanistan in 1998 and joining al-Qaeda.^[14]

al-Wuhayshi served as secretary to Osama bin Laden for years in Afghanistan.^[15]^[16] He left Afghanistan in 2001 and was soon arrested by Iranian authorities, who handed him over to his native Yemen two years later where he was imprisoned without charges.^[17] Al-Wuhayshi became the leader of al-Qaeda's Yemeni operations after a previous leader was killed in a US Predator drone strike in 2002.^[16]

In February 2006, Nasir al-Wuhayshi was one of 23 Yemeni captives who escaped from custody from a maximum security prison in Sana'a.^[5]^[15]^[16]^[18]

His authority seems to derive mostly from his long proximity to Osama bin Laden.^[17]

Foundation and Emir of AQAP

In January 2009, the al-Qaeda branches in Yemen and Saudi Arabia merged and formed al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Ayman Al-Zawahiri confirmed al-Wuhayshi's appointment as leader of AQAP in a video posted online.^[9]

Nasir al-Wuhayshi and three other men appeared in several threatening videos released in January 2009.^[19] Al Wuhayshi published an additional video calling for violence in February.^[20]
He claimed the increase in western warships off the Horn of Africa to fight piracy were really intended to oppress Islam.^[21]
According to Yemeni military officials he was killed in southern Yemen on 28 August 2011.^[22]
On 25 October 2011, AQAP denied that he was killed.^[23]

On 6 December, al-Wuhayshi released a statement on jihadist websites that AQAP would be intervening in the Siege of Dammaj on the side of Salafi students fighting the Shi'a Houthi militia.^[24] A member of a local tribe reported on 22 December that Abdel al-Wuhashi, a younger brother of Nasir, was killed by Yemeni military forces.^[25]

In 2013, Al-Qaeda Emir Ayman al-Zawahiri appointed al-Wuhayshi as his deputy, speculating that he may be the next Emir of Al-Qaeda.^[26]^[27]

In March 2014, al-Wuhayshi made an appearance in a video celebrating the mass jailbreak of fighters held in Yemeni prisons. Around 400 AQAP fighters were present in what was described as being the largest known gathering of al-Qaeda in Yemen. In the video, al-Wuhayshi declared, "We have to remove the Cross, and the bearer of the Cross, America."^[28]

Death

Al-Wuhayshi was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen on 12 June 2015.^[12] AQAP released a statement acknowledging his death several days later, and announced Qasim al-Raymi as his successor.^[13]
