Summary:
The computer programmer, Anas al-Liby is on the FBI's "most wanted terrorists" list. He was captured yesterday as an operational combat officer for al-Qaeda. He is accused of being one of the mastermind behind the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, that killed 224 people. In 2000, he was indicted by a New York grand jury, but after that he was on the run until yesterday. A Human Rights Watch might document suggests that he was detained by the CIA in 2002. He was an activist against Muammar Gaddafi's rule and was given asylum in the UK for unclear reasons in the past.
