Libya rejects claims it cannot try Abdullah al-Senussi
Interpol issued an arrest and extradition request on behalf of Libya's provisional government after police in Mauritania detained Senussi on Friday night as he arrived on a flight from Casablanca. But Libya's ruling National Transitional Council's bid to try the most reviled figure in the Gaddafi regime apart from the late dictator himself was in danger of being thwarted after France and the International Criminal Court also filed formal extradition requests with the Mauritanian authorities.
