Wanted Mauritanian terrorist caught in Niger
2009-10-28
[Maghrebia] Security services in Niger earlier this month arrested a high-profile Mauritanian terror suspect, Journal Tahalil quoted security services as saying on Monday (October 26th). Taghi Ould Youssouf was reportedly apprehended following the October 7th kidnapping of four geologists working near the Arlit uranium site in northern Niger. The geologists were freed later the same day.

Mauritanian authorities also reportedly suspect Youssouf in connection with the deadly attack on a broadcast centre in Tevragh Zeina in April 2008 by a terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda.
