| 2009-10-31 |
| [Maghrebia] Mauritania on Thursday (October 29th) officially asked Niger to extradite an important terror suspect, PANA reported. Taghi Ould Youssouf allegedly participated in the kidnapping of Western nationals in the Sahel-Saharan region. Mauritanian authorities also reportedly suspect Youssouf in connection with a deadly attack on a broadcast centre in Tevragh Zeina in April 2008 by a terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda. Youssouf was arrested earlier this month in Niger. |
