If you are invisible does the backstab feat still work?

Backstab
[General, Fighter] (DR340 p86)
Combat Reflexes
You may make an Attack of Opportunity against an opponent that you flank who attacks a target other than you.

Thanks.

I would logically say that the invisible attacker gets a flanking bonus, but the visible one doesn't (as the visible one still has full attention).
