Captured al Qaeda leader to be tried in United States instead of Gitmo.
U.S. officials have opted not to send Libyan national Anas al Libi to the military detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to reports on "Fox News Sunday" and CBS's "Face The Nation."
Al Libi will likely stand trial in the southern district of New York, where he was indicted for his alleged involvement in the bombings of the United States embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, in 1998.
Al Libi, 49, who was on the FBI’s “Most Wanted” list, was captured in his native Libya Saturday by U.S. forces, according to the Pentagon.

Hmmm...new policy?
Are they waiting for all the Gitmo prisoners to die off, and not sending new ones to Gitmo?
Or is this guy different somehow?
