Nabil Sahrawi, an Algerian national who is also known as Abu Olqoma, was a military commander of AQIM in the Sahara desert and the deputy of Abdul Hamid Abu Zeid, one of AQIM’s leading field commanders in the Sahara desert.
Abu Zeid is believed by many
security experts to have ordered the killing of two foreigners kidnapped
by his group, Frenchman Michel Germaneau and Briton Edwin Dyer.
“Nabil Sahrawi died in a car accident in the city of Gao, north of Mali,” the Algerian official, who declined to be named, told Reuters.
