Answer
Abu Luqman, also known as Anwar Al-Awlaki, was a prominent figure in the global jihadist movement. Based in Yemen, he rose to prominence as a key ideologue and recruiter for Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Born in New Mexico, USA, to Yemeni parents, Al-Awlaki's transformation from a mainstream Muslim preacher to a radical figure is often attributed to the 1990s Bosnian War and September 11 attacks.
