Ex-Gaddafi spy chief al-Senussi 'charged' in Mauritania

Former Libyan intelligence chief Abdallah al-Senussi has been charged in Mauritania with illegally entering the country, officials say.

Mr Senussi, who fled Libya after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, was held at Nouakchott airport after flying in from Morocco in March. Both Libya and the International Criminal Court want him extradited to face trial for crimes against humanity. Mauritanian officials say he faces trial for using false travel documents.
