Libya summons US envoy over raid to capture al-Liby
Libya summoned the US ambassador to the country for questioning on Monday over the weekend capture of a suspected al-Qaeda leader on Libyan territory, the BBC reported.
Anas al-Liby, a suspect in the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, was seized in the capital, Tripoli, on Saturday.
Libya's minister of justice wanted "a number of explanations concerning the case," a statement said.
The US has said Mr Liby was "a legal and an appropriate target."
Mr Liby's son, Abdullah al-Ruqai, has said his father was seized by masked gunmen early on Saturday morning and that some of them were Libyans.
He believes the Libyan government was implicated in his father's disappearance - a claim Tripoli denies.
