A Mauritanian court has charged Moamer Gaddafi's ex-spy chief, arrested two months ago and the subject of several handover demands, with illegally entering the country, an official said yesterday.
Abdullah al-Senussi, feared former right hand man of the slain Libyan leader, was charged overnight for using false travel documents to illegally enter Mauritania on March 16 on a flight from Casablanca.
"He was charged and put in prison, in a cell specially prepared ahead of the trial, whose date has yet to be set," a judicial source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
