Anas Al-Libi Arrives in US, Seriously Ill: Officials (Al Qaeda terrorist in NY hospital with Hep C)
ABC News ^ | Oct. 14, 2013 | JAMES GORDON MEEK, JOSH MARGOLIN, LUIS MARTINEZ and PIERRE THOMAS

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 guess the CIA's health care plan is covering his pre existing condition.

Don’t tell anyone, but “HepC” is the CIA code word for “Camel syphillis”. Shhhh!

How about our State Dept., FBI, and news media STFU about where this guy is? Only makes the courthouse and the people on the street a current target of a car/truck bomb.

His arraignment should be sealed, period. Our mouths should be shut, period. Too many damned talkers and they are going to get us killed.

I wonder if this is a deliberate example of Obama’s “transparency”?

Of course they grabbed him. It’s the way AQ kingpins can get decent healtcare, halal grub and a warm mosque.

He’ll be up and around, and detonating before too long, after a little US R&R.

He's already getting "free" healthcare provided by you and me. We need to keep him alive so we can spend $10 million dollars trying him so we can spend another $10 million to keep him locked up.

They secretly brought him to the United States without extradition? I can see some hungry lawyer licking his chops over that.

Oh Well: when some slime bucket lawyer gets him off we will send him back cured thanks to the American taxpayer.

Yeah sure.

Just like the Libyan “mastermind” of the Lockerbie bombing was dying of prostate cancer when the compassionate Brits released him after BP had made a deal with Khadaffi. Is HE dead yet?
