}}Saleh al-Oufi or Saleh Muhammad 'Awadullah al-'Alawi al-'Oufi ({{lang-ar|صالح محمد عوض الله العلوي العوفي}}) (died 2005), was a member of al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia and became the leader of that group when Abdel Aziz al-Muqrin was killed in June 2004. Al-Oufi in turn was killed in August 2005, in Madinah.[1]

Life

al-Oufi was born in al-Hindiya, Saudi Arabia.[2] He was a sergeant in the Prison detachment of the National Service, but was discharged in 1989 for his overt support of anti-government forces.[2]

In 1993, he traveled to Afghanistan; and fought in Bosnia and Chechnya, where he sustained a head wound and returned to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment.[2] Following his recovery, he opened a car dealership and traveled frequently to Germany through Dubai.[2]

In 2001, he was back in Afghanistan but fled the American invasion along with Khalid al-Juhani.[2] In 2002, he returned to Saudi Arabia for his father's funeral, which he attended disguised as a woman.[2]

Leadership

During his 14 months as leader of AQAP, Al-Oufi wrote a few pieces for the al-Qaida online magazines Sawt al-Jihad and Mu'askar al-Battar, particularly about Iraq. A car bombing in Qatar, which killed one and wounded dozens, came two days after an instigation by al-Oufi (on a terrorist web forum) to attack "crusader" targets in the Gulf nations.[3]

Al-Oufi has been variously described as a former policeman and a former prison guard. According to AQAP, he participated in some way in the fighting in Afghanistan.

Death

One other suspect with al-Oufi was killed, and another wounded and captured. In a simultaneous raid in Riyadh, four AQAP members were killed and one captured. These raids were made possible by the interception of mobile telephone transmissions.
