A Libyan man suspected of being heavily involved with Al-Qaeda has arrived in the United States to prepare for trial, the Associated Press reported Monday.<\/p>\n

\n Speaking on condition of anonymity, US officials told the AP that
\n Abu Anas al-Libi is now in America after spending more than a
\n week onboard a US warship in Libya.\n<\/p>\n

\n Libi, 49, has long been under indictment in the US for his
\n alleged role in bombing two American embassies in 1998. He was a
\n staple of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s most wanted
\n terrorists list for ages, but was apprehended<\/a> by authorities only last weekend after
\n the US Army’s Delta Force team captured him outside of his home
\n in Tripoli.\n<\/p>\n

\n During the last week, US investigators reportedly interrogated
\n al-Libi onboard a US warship, emulating the illegal tactics
\n employed previously at Central Intelligence Agency black-site
\n prisons, according to some critics. With news of his arrival on
\n domestic soil, though, al-Libi is expected to be put behind bars
\n in the US and prepped for an eventual trial where he could be
\n convicted of terrorism related charges and sentenced to death.\n<\/p>\n

\n According to the AP’s source, al-Libi arrived in New York on
\n Saturday abd will soon be arraigned in federal court.\n<\/p>\n

\n Upon news of his capture last weekend, Libyan Prime Minister Ali
\n Zeidan told Reuters that his government has asked American
\n authorities to “provide an explanation” for what he called a
\n “kidnapping.”\n<\/p>\n

\n “He is clearly Al-Qaeda and he is clearly wanted on
\n charges<\/i>,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said<\/a> of Libi’s case in response.”When we are able
\n to, we prefer to capture someone like Mr. al-Libi<\/i>.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Only barely a week after he was captured, though, the al-Libi
\n story has proven to be one already ripe with twists and turns.
\n Just days after the Delta Force landed in Tripoli and towed the
\n suspected al-Qaeda operative into international waters, Prime
\n Minister Zeidan was captured<\/a>, reportedly by former rebel militia-men who
\n accused him of cooperating with the US with regards to al-Libi’s
\n kidnapping. Zeidan has since been freed, told reporters after
\n that “Libyans need wisdom … not escalation … to deal
\n with this situation<\/i>.”\n<\/p>\n
