FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
That announcement came day after the arrest of Seif al-Islam, the 39-year-old
son and heir apparent of Gaddafi, who himself was seized and slain on
October 20.
Last June, the ICC had issued arrest warrants for the trio on charges of
crimes against humanity over the violent repression of anti-regime protests
in the North African state.
There was no immediate comment from NTC officials of Senussi’s reported arrest
in Mauritania.
Senussi is one of the last members of Kadhafi’s inner circle to have been
arrested. Others still at large include Kadhafi’s son Saadi who has taken
refuge in Niger.
Senussi was the national head of the military intelligence, which the ICC
described as “one of the most powerful and efficient organs of
repression of Muammar Gaddafi regime.”
The ICC says Senussi was an “indirect perpetrator of crimes against
humanity of murder and persecution based on political grounds”
committed in Benghazi from February 15 until at least February 20 this year.
“(Senussi), once instructed by Muammar Gaddafi to implement the plan of
deterring and quelling civilian demonstrations against the regime in
Benghazi… directly instructed the troops to attack civilians demonstrating
in the city.”
According to The Hague-based court, Senussi was “in a position to trigger
the actions of the armed forces and ensure compliance with such orders, and
therefore, the commission of crimes by any replaceable direct perpetrator.”
Long considered the slain dictator’s right-hand man, Senussi remained faithful
to the end to the man who ruled Libya with an iron-fist for 42 years.
On August 21, the day rebels stormed Tripoli, Senussi made a rare appearance
at the Rixos Hotel, headquarters of the foreign media in the Libyan capital,
to address journalists.
He ranted against NATO’s bombing campaign and charged that the military
alliance, which bombed his Tripoli home a few days earlier, worked hand in
hand with Western intelligence and Al-Qaeda “to destroy Libya.”
“Libya will not be ruled by bands of terrorists,” Senussi said at
the time.
In 1999, a Paris court sentenced Senussi in absentia to life for his alleged
involvement in an attack on a French UTA airliner a decade earlier that
killed 170 people.
Senussi could also be held accountable for the Abu Salim prison massacre of
1996 when more than 1,000 detainees were gunned down.
