Cairo - The wife of a Libyan accused of being an al-Qaeda member
involved in the 1998 bombings of two US embassies in Africa says he has
died of complications from liver surgery.
Um Abdullah, the wife of
Abu Anas al-Libi, told The Associated Press on Saturday she learned of
her husband's death from the Libyan Embassy in Washington.
Al-Libi,
also known as Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, was indicted more than a
decade ago in US federal court of being involved in the twin 1998
bombings at the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224
people, including a dozen Americans.
US forces in 2013 captured al-Libi in Libya and brought him to America for trial.
His wife on Saturday accused the American government of "kidnapping, mistreating and killing an innocent man".
