Ayesh Ali Hussein al-Harbi is a suspected airliner hijacker and serial killer. Iraq alleges he was involved in hijacking a Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 777 in October 2000. The flight, en route to London, was diverted to Baghdad International Airport with 103 passengers and crew by two men including al-Harbi who claimed to seek rights for Saudis. They were granted asylum by Saddam Hussein's government. He is also accused of being part of a three-man gang which murdered multiple victims, including officials with the police and military, and of forcing people away from their homes. He has been arrested by Iraqi officials.
