The return of Muammar Qadhafi's muchwanted spy
chief Abdullah Al-Senussi from Mauritania to Libya on 8
September is likely to prove acutely embarrassing for Algeria. Senussi
was handed over to Libyan authorities for a reported price of €1
billion.
Senussi is apparently telling his Libyan captors a great deal
about the form of assistance that Algeria gave to the Qadhafi regime
during the Libyan rebellion last year. According to sources, Senussi
has been revealing much about the financial and other conditions under
which many members of the Qadhafi family were given sanctuary
in Algeria last year.
If Senussi continues to cooperate with his Libyan interrogators
in the same as he appears to have begun, Algeria could have some very
tricky questions to explain away.
