Kidnapper of Spanish aid workers appeals conviction
[Maghrebia] A Mauritanian appellate court on Tuesday (August 10th) will hear the case of a Malian sentenced last month to 12 years in prison for kidnapping 3 Spanish aid workers. Omar Sid'Ahmed Ould Hamma (aka Omar Sahraoui) was the ringleader of the armed group responsible for ambushing a humanitarian convoy on the Nouakchott-Nouadhibou road last November. One man received a 1-year suspended sentence and four defendants were acquitted in the case.Posted by: Fred 2010-08-11 |
