Al Basrah, Al B, or Albie, is a character in the Left Behind series of novels by Timothy LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. A Muslim by faith, he has connections to the black market and supplies things for Mac McCullum; he is in his late forties. Rayford Steele is introduced to him immediately after the Wrath of the Lamb earthquake, as Rayford wants scuba equipment to take a dive into the Tigris River in search of the crashed plane his wife Amanda White Steele was supposed to be aboard. Albie is killed by an old black marketing friend - who is now loyal to the GC - in Armageddon.
