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


 
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.
