| [Maghrebia] Libya added al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden to its terrorist watch list, pan-Arab daily Asharq Al-Awsat reported on Sunday (January 17th). Brigadier General Mohamed al-Ramali, the head of the Libyan General Directorate of Passports and Nationalities, reportedly asked the Libyan intelligence director to add "international fugitive Osama Mohamed Awad Bin Laden, born July 30th, 1957", to the watch list of those entering Libya. "In the event that there is any information about the al-Qaeda leader, this should be referred to Arab and International police forces," al-Ramali wrote. The move reportedly aims at facilitating Bin Laden's arrest by Interpol. |
