| Kib in Mauritania to push for Senussi’s extradition |
NOUAKCHOTT Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Rahim Al Kib arrived on Wednesday in Mauritania, where he is expected to push for the extradition of Muammar Gaddafi’s ex-spy chief, the official AMI agency reported.
Abdullah Al Senussi, feared former right hand man of the slain Libyan leader, was arrested in March in Mauritania and charged two months later for using forged travel documents to illegally enter the country.
The head of Libya’s National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, reiterated his administration’s demand for Senussi’s extradition in a phone call to Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz on Tuesday.
In June 2011, the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for Senussi saying he was an “indirect perpetrator of crimes against humanity, of murder and persecution based on political grounds” in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.
