One of the world’s most wanted terrorists captured in Libya by elite US troops was given political asylum in Britain but fled two years later when it was discovered he was planning Jihad from his Manchester flat, it emerged today. Al Qaeda commander Abu Anas al-Liby was wanted for plotting the 1998 US embassy attacks in Kenya and Tanzania that killed more than 220, yet within a year he was living as a student in Moss Side. The extremist, who had a £3million US bounty on his head, was seized at his home in Tripoli after dawn prayers by the US Army’s Delta Force, 13 years after British police let him slip through their fingers. It was revealed today that he had been arrested as a terror suspect in the UK in 1999.

Then in May 2000, anti-terror police raided his flat and found a 180-page handwritten terror instruction book
