Anas al-Libi, the alleged al Qaeda member snatched off the streets of Tripoli by an American special operations team, has been brought to the U.S. to face terrorism charges, but has been hospitalized due to a severe case of hepatitis C, U.S. officials told ABC News today.
Al-Libi, whose real name is Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, had been on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list for more than a decade for his alleged involvement in the dual bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 which claimed more than 200 lives, 12 of them American.
The U.S. Army's famed Delta Force grabbed al-Libi Oct. 5 in an early morning operation, according to a military source, as he was returning home from morning prayers in Tripoli, Libya. He was then whisked to a Navy ship in the Mediterranean, where security experts said he was likely questioned by the U.S. government's High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG) for days before likely being turned over to the FBI for transport stateside.
Prosecutors said he was secretly spirited to the U.S. over the weekend. Two U.S. officials said the move was hastened because of al-Libi's health -- his illness described by one official as "severely acute last week."

I have it on good authority that waterboarding is a great cure for Hep C. I suggest they try it.
one of the ones secret dates im betting.....
That incident was an indictment of the British health care system. In truth the terrorist would have died of prostrate cancer quickly if treated in the UK. That is how bad socialized medicine is. You check in the hospital, but don’t expect to check out. In Libya, they gave him the best care and he lived for many years. In the UK, he was a dead man walking. This is what we got to look forward to, unless you got the scratch to pay for boutique clinics and doctors.
Maybe the PTB knwew that their boy was in dire need of medical attention that he could not get in Lybia so they brought him to the USA to get treatment.
He's an anas hole.
