( CNN ) -- A dark car parks in front of a residence in Tripoli , Libya . Immediately , a white van stops next to it . Men leap from the van and point guns at the car . They yank open the car doors , pull a man out and shove him into the van . The van speeds away . In less than 30 seconds , the United States had taken suspected al Qaeda member Anas al-Libi into custody . Dramatic security camera video published Monday in the Washington Post shows U.S. commandos capturing al-Libi last October . Al-Libi is a top terror suspect . He 's accused of playing a key role in the August 7 , 1998 , bombings of American embassies in Nairobi , Kenya , and Dar es Salaam , Tanzania , which killed more than 200 people and wounded about 5,000 . The video was shot from a vantage point above al-Libi 's family home in Tripoli . The family tells CNN 's Jomana Karadsheh the video is genuine and was recorded on the family 's home security system . The capture was executed with lightning speed . Digital time on the video shows only half a minute passing between when al-Libi 's car stops and the departure of the white van . As the commandos leave , al-Libi 's car rolls forward and out of frame , apparently because he did n't have time to put it in park . Later images show members of the family reacting , running downstairs to the street . The video was provided only to al-Libi 's U.S. lawyers , the family said . Karadsheh and CNN 's Nic Robertson , who both visited the location , said the video is consistent with the street outside the family home . Al-Libi , 49 , is now being held in New York . He was indicted in 2001 by the federal court in the Southern District of New York on charges of conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals , murder , destruction of American buildings and government property and destruction of national defense utilities of the United States . His wife said he was no longer a member of al Qaeda , had been living a normal life and was seeking a job with the Libyan oil ministry . On October 5 , the day of the capture , a team of U.S. Navy SEALs in southern Somalia targeted the top leader of Al-Shabaab , which was behind the mall attack in Kenya in September . The SEALs came under fire and had to withdraw before they could confirm whether they killed their target , a senior U.S. official said .
