Video Shows U.S. Abduction of Terror Suspect from Tripoli Street

HeadlineFeb 11, 2014

Newly released video shows U.S. forces abducting a terrorism suspect from outside his home in Libya last year. Abu Anas al-Libi was snatched from the streets of Tripoli and interrogated for a week aboard a U.S. warship following his capture in October. He is accused of helping plan the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa and is currently awaiting trial in New York. Video from a closed-circuit camera, obtained by The Washington Post, shows men with guns jumping out of a van after trailing al-Libi, while another car blocks al-Libi’s path. The video also shows the panicked reaction of those in al-Libi’s home, who rush into the street after his capture.
