Adel bin Abdullah bin Thabit al-Abab (1976 or 1977 – 4 October 2012), also known by the kunya Abu Zubayr, was a Salafi jihadist theologist in Yemen and a high-ranking leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Abab attended and graduated from an orthodox Salafi institution in Sanaa and continued working there as a librarian until 2006; he is believed to have joined al-Qaeda in Yemen (AQY) the following year. Abab headed AQAP's sharia committee and oversaw its implementation within the group. Utilizing his religious credentials, he served an ideological role in AQAP media, calling for the implementation of Sharia and justifying jihad against Arab governments. He also received notoriety for being the first AQAP member to announce the existence Ansar al-Sharia. Abab was killed in a drone strike launched by the United States on 4 October 2012. At the time of his death, he was considered the fourth most-important leader of AQAP.
