However, Mauritanian sources told AFP
that no decision had yet been made
regarding extradition.
Republic in giving us a positive
commitment in this area," the deputy
Libyan prime minister said.
The Libyan government had used the
Nouakchott trip to exert pressure for
extradition. Following Abu Shagur's
meeting with Mauritanian President Ould
Abdel Aziz on Tuesday, the Libyan official
praised the president "for the courageous
position he had taken regarding Abdullah
Senussi's arrest".
In France, the Elysée Palace issued a
statement saying the French president
was "delighted at the arrest by the
Mauritanian authorities of Abdullah
Senussi". British officials had similar praise
for the capture, calling on Mauritania to
hand over the Kadhafi spymaster to the
ICC for trial on terror chargers.
"In reality this is a historic position which
the Libyan people will never forget,
because that man was the second in
command in Kadhafi's regime," Abu
Shagur said in Nouakchott.
He added that: "The meeting covered the
significance of this step and examined
ways in which relations between Libya and
Mauritania could be strengthened, along
with the Libyan government and people's
concern that this man should be
extradited to Libya, because he is a Libyan
citizen who must face due legal process in
his own country."
"Senussi's trial will turn the page on a dark
period in Libya's history," UK Foreign
Secretary William Hague said.
