Zuher al-Tbaiti (Template:Langx) is a Saudi Arabian who was arrested in Morocco in May 2002 as the suspected ringleader of the al-Qaeda plot to bomb American and British vessels transiting the Strait of Gibraltar. He was sentenced to ten years in prison along with two other Saudis, Abdullah al-Ghamdi and Hilal al-Assiri.[1]

Al-Tbaiti served as a military commander in Afghanistan before joining the Bosnian mujahideen as an artillery expert during the Bosnian War in the 1990s.[2] Along with al-Ghamdi and al-Assiri, he escaped Afghanistan in 2001 during the Battle of Tora Bora, and arrived in Morocco.[3]
