The gunmen smashed his car&#8217;s window and seized his gun before grabbing al-Libi and fleeing. The brother said al-Libi&#8217;s wife saw the kidnapping from her window and described the abductors as foreign-looking armed &#8220;commandos.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. official said there were no U.S. casualties in the operation. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>Al-Libi is on the FBI&#8217;s most-wanted list with a $5 million bounty on his head. He was indicted by a federal court in the Southern District of New York, for his alleged role in the bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, on August 7, 1998, that killed more than 220 people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice to see the folks at Delta get some press for a change. The two operations in Africa are a nice change from the drone program, too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy sends us a link from the Associated Press which reports that Delta operators nabbed al &hellip; <a title=\"Delta snatches al Qaida leader in Libya\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=37854\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Delta snatches al Qaida leader in Libya<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37854"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37854\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
