Abu Anas al Libi was being detained by the U.S. Military in a "Secure location outside of Libya," Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said late Saturday night.

Al Libi is an al Qaeda leader wanted for his role in the deadly 1998 bombings of two U.S. Embassies in Africa.

He was captured in one of two raids nearly 3,000 miles apart this weekend.

U.S. Forces captured al Libi in the Libyan capital of Tripoli. In the second raid, a team of U.S. Navy SEALs in southern Somalia targeted a leader of Al-Shabaab, which was behind last month's mall attack in Kenya. The SEALs came under fire and had to withdraw before they could confirm whether the leader was dead, a senior U.S. Official said. Ref. CNN
