Earlier this month the US announced that another Libyan suspect in the Lockerbie bombing, Mohammed Abouagela Masud, was in its custody. In the early 1980s, while Senussi ran Gaddafi’s internal security services, many opponents of the regime were killed in Libya and overseas. Senussi was also said to have been behind an alleged Libyan intelligence plot to assassinate Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in late 2003. The ICC decided in 2013 that as Libya had put Senussi on trial it would halt its own proceedings against him. It is unclear if the transfer of Senussi to the US has been shelved indefinitely, or merely postponed.
