DEVELOPING: A suspected Libyan terrorist who was being held aboard a U.S. warship after being nabbed in Libya is now in the United States, federal sources tell Fox News.

The Al Qaeda suspect, known as Abu Anas al-Libi, has been under federal indictment in New York for more than a decade.

U.S. special operations forces snatched him in Libya earlier this month. He's expected to stand trial over whether he helped plan and conduct surveillance for the bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998.

Al-Libi was captured Oct. 5. He was held on the USS San Antonio, a Marine amphibious ship, for 11 days before being taken to the U.S., Fox News has learned.

“Anas al-Libi was transferred to law enforcement custody this weekend and was brought directly to the Southern District of New York where he has been under indictment for more than a decade,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement. “The government expects that he will be presented before a judicial officer tomorrow.”
