A Libyan Al-Qaeda suspect is to be arraigned in New York on Tuesday in connection with the 1998 bombings of two US embassies in East Africa that killed 224 people.
Anas al-Libi was snatched from the streets of the Libyan capital Tripoli by US commandoes on October 5 and brought to New York at the weekend for trial.
He was indicted in 2000 in connection with the 1998 bombings which were claimed by Al-Qaeda, in a precursor to the 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001.
Court officials said Libi would be presented before Judge Kaplan at 12:45 (1645 GMT) and arraigned over the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
The car bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi killed 213 people and wounded another 5,000 on August 7, 1998.
A near simultaneous truck bomb outside the US mission in Tanzania killed 11 people and wounded 70 more.
Libi, a computer expert, was on the FBI's most wanted list with a $5 million price on his head for his presumed role in helping to scope out targets in Kenya.
The married father-of-four is accused of conspiracy to murder, kidnap and maim Americans and of plotting to maliciously damage and destroy US property.
