Writer's picture: OurStudioOurStudio

Libya said Sunday it has asked the United States for "clarifications" regarding the abduction in Tripoli of an al-Qaeda leader linked to the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in East Africa, adding that Libyan nationals should be tried in their own country.

The government's reaction came a day after U.S special forces captured Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, known by his alias Anas al-Libi, in a raid. Al-Libi is on the FBI's most-wanted list with a $5 million bounty on his head.
