Libyan Islamists Want Independent Inquiry Into US Capture of Al Qaeda Suspect

Want to know if the prime minister approved of the raid that resulted in the capture of Abu Anas al-Libi

TRIPOLI — Islamist opponents of Libya's hard-pressed prime minister are calling for an independent investigation into whether he gave approval for a U.S. Special Forces team to snatch an al-Qaida suspect from the streets of Tripoli. The demand for the probe is just the latest addition to Ali Zeidan's many political woes.

Influential Islamist leader Sami al-Saadi says the government of Prime Minister Ali Zeidan should shoulder some of the responsibility for the seizure earlier this month of the al-Qaida suspect by American commandos.
