Libyan intel chief al-Senoussi arrested in Mauritania

Mauritania said today it has arrested former Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi, who was one of the most prominent figures from the ousted regime of Muammar Gaddafi and is wanted by the International Criminal Court.

Al-Senoussi helped direct efforts to quash the rebellion against Gaddafi’s rule last year, and the ICC has indicted him along with Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam, on charges of crimes against humanity.
