After being held for three months and interrogated in the presence of FBI officials, Harzi was released on Jan. 8. The Tunisian authorities said there was not enough evidence obtained from Libyan officials to keep him in prison.

He was charged with belonging to a terrorist organization, a charge that normally carries a sentence of six to 12 years, and his release was conditional on his remaining in the vicinity of the capital.

There are two al Harzi brothers, and some media, like the New York Times, are citing the wrong one.

(Here's a screengrab in case they fix it.)

The Pentagon said that the militant, Tariq bin al-Tahar bin al-Falih al-’Awni al-Harzi, a Tunisian who had been a “person of interest” in the 2012 attack on the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, died in coordinated airstrikes on Islamic State targets near Mosul, Iraq, on June 15.

A military official declined to say how the Pentagon had received proof that Mr. Harzi was killed, but said there was now certainty that “the airstrike struck its intended target.”

This is Tariq, who was not the one killed according to the Pentagon.

Ali Ouni Harzi's full name is Ali Bin Al-tahar Bin Al-falah Al-ouni Al-Harzi. He was born March 9, 1986. His passport number is W342058.

Tariq's full name is:

Tariq Bin-Al-Tahar Bin Al Falih Al-‘Awni Al-Harzi
AKA: Tariq Tahir Falih AI-Awni AI-Harzi
AKA: Tariq Tahir Faleh Al-Awni al-Harzi
AKA: Tariq Abu 'Umar al-Tunisi
AKA: Tariq Abu Umar al-Tunisi
AKA: Abu 'Umar al-Tunisi
AKA: Tarek Ben El Felah El Aouni El Harazi
AKA: Tarik Bin al-Falah al-Awni al-Harazi
AKA: Tariq al-Tunisi
AKA: Tariq Tahir Falih 'Awni Harzi
AKA: Abu Omar Houdoud
AKA: Tariq Bin Tahir Bin Al-Falih Al-Auni AI-Harzi

Tariq was born on either March 5 or May 3, 1982 and has passport number Z050399.

Their father is named Taher Ouni Harzi, and their mother is Borkana Bedairia.

Tariq is an interesting guy because his profile pretty closely matches that of the mysterious "Abu Sayyaf", the Tunisian killed in the Special Forces raid in Syria in May, whose wife, Umm Sayyaf, was captured and is still being interrogated in some secret place in Iraq.

The Soufan Group thought Tariq might be Abu Sayyaf. He's alleged to be a leader of ISIS, involved in oil, has obtained big amounts of financing for ISIS from Qatar, involved in kidnappings of foreign hostages, suicide bombers and recruiting. The U.S. announced a $3 million reward for Tariq's capture or killing several months ago.

Tariq Bin-al-Tahar Bin al Falih al-‘Awni al-Harzi was one of the first terrorists to join ISIL and has served as an ISIL official operating in Syria. He has helped to raise funds from Gulf-based donors for ISIL and has recruited and facilitated the travel of ISIL fighters. He was named ISIL’s leader for the border region between Syria and Turkey. As of late 2013, al-Harzi was chief of ISIL’s suicide bombers, overseeing ISIL’s suicide bomber facilitation pipeline. Al-Harzi also has procured and shipped weapons from Libya and Syria for ISIL operations in Iraq. On September 24, 2014, the U.S. Department of the Treasury designated al-Harzi as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.

Here is Tariq's designation. The same day, the U.S. listed ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani and the Chechen ISIS military commander, Abu Omar al-Shishani.

Al-Harzi has been recruiting and facilitating the travel of fighters for ISIL since 2013. He was named ISIL’s Amir for the border region between Syria and Turkey and, in this capacity, he was tasked by ISIL with receiving new foreign fighter recruits and providing them light weapons training before sending them to Syria. Specifically, he facilitated the movement of Europeans to Turkey, and eventually Syria. For example, he and several other ISIL border group members assisted foreign fighters from the UK, Albania, and Denmark. As of early 2014, Al-Harzi had also recruited North Africans to ISIL. In mid-2013 he worked with
