A Libyan al-Qaeda suspect snatched from the streets of Tripoli by U.S. forces has died in New York just over a week before he was due to stand trial. Abu Anas al-Libi was accused of helping plan the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa. He was captured in Tripoli in 2013 and interrogated on a naval ship at sea, before being brought to New York where he was due to face trial next week. He died on Friday of complications from liver surgery. Libi was ill with hepatitis C at the time of his capture. His arrest sparked protests in Libya and pressure on the beleaguered Libyan government.
