Kerry Defends Terror Suspect's Capture

The US secretary of state brushes off Libyan complaints, saying the suspect seized in Tripoli is a "legal and appropriate target".

新闻背景：

美军10月5日在利比亚首都的黎波里生擒“基地”组织头目，49岁的艾尔利比，此人据信与1998年美国驻肯尼亚大使馆和美国驻坦桑尼亚大使馆两起爆炸案有密切关联。他已遭美国追缉10多年，处在恐怖分子通缉最高名单，悬赏500万美元。据说，他是“基地”组织骨干，下一步美国或将其引渡到美受审。

利比亚政府要求美国做出“解释”，为何在“未获授权”的情况下，在利比亚领土上发动突击。并发布声明说，注意到一名遭美国当局通缉的利比亚公民被“劫持”的消息，强调不管面对何种指控，希望利比亚公民在本国受审。

美国国务卿克里称，美军日前在利比亚和索马里实施的突击行动显示了美国打击恐怖主义的坚定决心。克里表示，希望通过这两次突袭行动表明，美国永远不会停止其脚步，将对那些实施恐怖主义行径的人打击到底。

Al Libi’s sons act out the drama of the moment their father was seized. They say four cars around his, arm masked men, some of them are foreigners, jumped out.

“They broke the glass window of the car and drugged him, and then they took him out of his car and put it into a white Mercedes.”

The families say this was a kidnapping and that al Libi only fought against the Gaddafi regime.

His real name is Nazih Abdul-Hamed al Ruqa, known as the G World and FBI. But he is * Al-Libi, a Libyan. The New York Time says special forces flew him to US with military alien for questioning. It is not confirmed. It’s unlikely he landed in Quantico Bay because of political sensibilities.

He is wanted over the US embassies bombings 15 years ago. He may stand trial in New York. The Americans insist this detention is legal.

“He is a key al-Qaeda figure, and he is a legal and an appropriate target for the US military under the authorization of the US military force passed in September, 2001.”

C Hill, Manchester, an unlike location for alleged top al-Qaeda men, but it’s thought in the mid 1990s, al Libi lived here. It wasn’t unusual for foreign radical Islamist to flee to the UK. It was just a few years after the British government had supported the MD against Soviet Union in Afghanistan. It was also a time when Gaddafi’s Libya was considered an enemy. Al Libi is said to be granted political assailment by joint major’s government.

Next week, the Home Secretary Theresa May would be questioned on the subject by a parliamentary committee among the questions, why was he given the assailment and could neither al Libi be here now.
