Abduction of Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai in Tripoli

The Washington Post got a hold of some video of Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai when Delta snagged his ass in Tripoli a few months back after his morning prayers.

Less than two minutes after the Libyan was first cornered, American Special Operations forces sped away with the suspect and his vehicle. Ruqai was taken to a Libyan military base and then to the USS San Antonio, an American warship, waiting off the coast in the Mediterranean Sea.

Ruqai’s arrest, carried out in a joint operation by the CIA, the FBI and the U.S. Army’s elite Delta Force, ended a 13-year hunt for a man once thought to be close to Osama bin Laden. Ruqai is accused of participating in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa, which resulted in more than 200 deaths.

I especially like the “WTF just happened?” expressions on the folks who come out of the house after the troops drive off.

  1. Probably a good thing that those dildo’s did not come outside while the “arrest and apprehension” as I shall now call it, was taking place.

  2. That’s the Delta Force for you.

    Way to go, guys: Clean snatch and grab with nobody the wiser and no casualties. Here’s hoping all of your future operations go the same.

  3. “Abduction?” Civilians are “abducted,” but this guy was a self-declared soldier in a war.

    How about “Capture?”

  4. Was that Waddlin’ Willie the Wound Wanger I saw?,,, oops my bust, it was a pile of dogshit on the sidewalk
