Abu Anas al-Libi snatched
A man suspected of being a leader of Al Qaeda and having a role in planning the bombings of the United States Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 was seized from the streets of Tripoli on Saturday by a team of armed men, officials familiar with the situation said. The suspect, born Nazih Abd al Hamid al-Ruqhay and known by his nom de guerre Abu Anas el-Liby, has been high on the list of the United States government's most-wanted fugitives since at least 2000, when a New York court indicted him for his part in planning the embassy attacks. The F.B.I. had offered a bounty of up to $5 million for information leading to his capture. The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of attempts to locate Abu Anas, declined to make public further details on his capture.
