The next day, Mas'ud appeared at a federal court in Washington and was charged with an act of international terrorism. Mr Dbeibah's comments came a day after Libya's chief public prosecutor, Saddiq Al-Sour, announced there would be an investigation into Mas'ud's extradition following a complaint from the suspect's family. On Tuesday, Mr Bashagha called Mas'ud's extradition illegal and urged his immediate release. In Facebook videos posted on Thursday, people in Tripoli were seen carrying posters that blamed Mr Dbeibah and his allied militia forces for Masud's extradition. Mas'ud is the third Libyan intelligence official charged in the US in connection with the Lockerbie attack.
