abdel wahab mohamed qaid -lrb- -rrb- , alias abu idris al-libi is a libyan politician and former militia leader .
since 2012 , he has been a member of the libyan parliament -lrb- general national congress -rrb- and the head of the national border guard for southern libya .
he was described as one of the most senior members of the libyan islamic fighting group that fought against the rule of muammar gaddafi .
he was one of the last members of lifg to be released from prison -lrb- on february 16 , 2011 -rrb- as part of the reconciliation program headed by the leader 's son saif al-islam gaddafi .
he is the elder brother of abu yahya al-libi , former number 2 in al-qaeda , who was killed in a us drone strike in june 2012 .
after the libyan civil war of 2011 that led to the deposition of gaddafi , he was elected to the general national congress as an independent , representing a constituency in southern libya .
after the parliament was constituted , he founded the al-wafa bloc -lrb- full name : `` al-wafa li dimaa al-shuhadaa '' , `` remaining faithful to the blood of the martyrs '' -rrb- , made up of former anti-gaddafi militia fighters .
he advocates a rigorous exclusion of representatives of the disempowered gaddafi regime from public offices -lrb- `` political exclusion law '' -rrb- .
he chairs the parliamentary committee for national security .
qaid was considered a main contender for the office of president of the general national congress after the first president mohammed magariaf retired from this office due to the exclusion law in may 2013 .
unlike all other groups , the al-wafa bloc opposed a women 's quota in the constitutional assembly elected in february 2014 .
in october 2013 , russian media reported that bassem al-hashemi sol , spokesman of a `` libyan tribal association '' , accused qaid of being a high-ranking al-qaeda member .
