The abduction comes five days after US commandos seized senior Al-Qaeda figure Abu Anas al-Libi- indicted for the twin 1998 bombings of US embassies in east Africa- off the streets of Tripoli and whisked him away to a warship.The government said it suspected two groups of ex-rebels, the chamber of revolutionaries and the brigade for the fight against crime, which in principle fall under the defence and interior ministries, of being behind the kidnapping.
