TRIPOLI – The daughter of Muammar Gaddafi's former spy chief was arrested at a Tripoli hotel for entering Libya illegally, a Supreme Security Committee official said Sunday. The official, who declined to be named, said Al-Unood Al-Senussi, daughter of Abdullah Al-Senussi and niece of Gaddafi's wife Safiah, was detained by the military police Saturday. “Al-Unood was arrested at a central Tripoli hotel after she entered Libya from Algeria on a fake Libyan passport,” he said. He said the daugher, 18, was carrying a “large amount” of US dollars, but he did not say how much. While her father faces charges of “crimes against Libyans” in Tripoli and is also wanted by the International Criminal Court in the Hague and by France, Al-Unood Al-Senussi has not been accused of any crime, except illegally entering Libya, the official said. Abdullah Al-Senussi was arrested a few months ago after arriving with a falsified Malian passport on a flight to the Mauritanian capital, Nouakchott, from Morocco. He was then handed to Libya by Mauritanian authorities last month, triggering a tussle between Libya, France and the ICC over who should try him. — Reuters
