© UnknownAl-Libi was released by British police a year after US embassy bombings.
Al-Libi, who has been captured by US Special Forces in Libya earlier on Sunday, was reportedly arrived in Britain in 1995 and lived in Manchester after he was given political asylum in the UK.
There are reports that the 49-year-old suspect was arrested by the British police in 1999, a year after the bombings of the US embassies in Nairobi, kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Al-Libi, whose name was placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list, was released by the Metropolitan police and later fled the UK.
Chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee Keith Vaz said the serious questions over al-Libi being granted UK asylum would be raised with the Home Secretary Theresa May when she appears before British MPs next week.
The US Special Forces seized al-Libi in a commando raid in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
Washington claims the abductee is linked to al-Qaeda and that he has been one of the masterminds behind the US embassy attacks.
Comment: Same game was seen with patsy Bin-Laden, who was killed over and over again. You don't want to kill a good enemy that you have spent good money to become the ultimate bogeyman in the eyes of the population. Just like you don't let the star in the TV soap operas die.
