Al-Libi has been identified as the primary source of faulty prewar intelligence regarding chemical weapons training between Iraq and al Qaeda that was used by the Bush Administration to justify the invasion of Iraq.

Al-Libi recanted these claims in January 2004 after U. S. interrogators presented to him " new evidence from other detainees that cast doubt on his claims ", according to Newsweek.

Al-Libi later recanted his story and it is generally believed that his stories of contact between the Saddam Hussein regime and Al-Qaeda were fabricated to please his interrogators.

United States Department of Defense spokesmen used to routinely described the Khaldan training camp as an " al Qaeda training camp ", and used to routinely describe Al-Libi and Abu Zubaydah as senior members of Al Qaeda.

Al-Libi led the Al Khaldan training camp in Afghanistan, the facility where Zacarias Moussaoui and Ahmed Ressam trained.

Al-Libi was turned over to the FBI and held at Bagram Air Base.

Al-Libi also told the interrogators details about Richard Reid, and he agreed to continue cooperating if the United States would allow his wife and her family to emigrate, as he was prosecuted within the American legal system himself.

Al-Libi is not a surname, but an adjective, meaning the Libyan.
