Mukhabarat el-Jamahiriya (Arabic: مخابرات الجماهيرية) [1] (Intelligence of the Jamahiriya) was the national intelligence service of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi. During the First Libyan Civil War, agency director Abuzed Omar Dorda was captured by anti-Gaddafi forces, and the agency ceased to exist when the Jamahiriya was toppled in October 2011.

The agency is believed to have been involved in the 1986 West Berlin discotheque bombing, alongside the Libyan embassy.[2]

In 1988, the agency was accused of causing the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people.
