Manaf Abd al-Rahim al-Rawi (Arabic: مناف عبد الرحيم الراوي) (died April 1, 2013) was an Iraqi, allegedly Al Qaeda's former "governor" in Baghdad province.
Al-Rawi was arrested on March 11, 2010 by Iraqi security forces.[1] Iraqi government sources claimed al-Rawi was the man responsible for planning the multiple-vehicle bombings in Baghdad.[2] He was a senior leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI).[3] Under interrogation, he apparently gave authorities information which led to the killing of two members of the group's leadership, Masri and Abu Omar,[4][5] in the following months.[6] He was later convicted of terrorism and was executed on April 1, 2013.[7]
