Mauritania agrees to extradite Senussi: Libya vice PM
AFP – 2 hrs 51 mins ago
Mauritania has agreed to extradite Moamer Kadhafi's ex-spy chief Abdullah Senussi to Libya to stand trial, Libya's vice premier announced on Tuesday.
"I have met the President of Mauritania and he agreed to the extradition of Senussi to Libya," Mustafa Abu Shagur wrote on his Twitter account.
There was no immediate confirmation from the authorities in Mauritania, where Senussi was arrested at Nouakchott airport on Friday after arriving on a flight from Casablanca in Morocco, using a false passport.
Earlier, speaking to reporters after meeting Mauritanian leader Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz in Nouakchott, the Libyan vice-premier said only that the president had "promised something positive" in regard to Libya's request.
