Mukhabarat el-Jamahiriya or the Intelligence of the Jamahiriya was the Libyan External Security Organisation (ESO) service of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi.[1]

During the NATO bombing of Libya, ESO director Abuzed Omar Dorda was captured by anti-Gaddafi forces, and the ESO ceased to exist when the Jamahiriya was toppled in August 2011.

In 1988, the Mukhabarat el-Jamahiriya was accused of causing the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people.[2]
