Former Libyan intelligence chief
Abdullah al-Senussi has been captured, a source of the ruling
National Transitional Council (NTC) told Xinhua Sunday.
Senussi, who had been at large since the fall of Tripoli
to NTC forces in August, was seized earlier in the day in
the southern Libyan town of Gaara by Sabha militias, the source
said.
Senussi's captors are now looking for a safe place to keep
him in custody, he said, adding that NTC deputy chairman and
spokesman Abdul Hafid Ghoga is to hold a news conference on
the event late Sunday.
Senussi, 62, is the brother-in-law and former right-hand
man of Libya's slain former strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
Senussi, along with Gaddafi and his second son Saif al-Islam,
is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of
crimes against humanity. The court issued arrest warrants
for them in late June
