Mauritanian authorities question suspect in Tourine troop beheadings, Leggett murder
2009-10-29
The primary suspect in the June 2009 murder of American teacher Christopher Leggett was taken to Mauritania's National Security (DGSN) headquarters for additional interrogation, ANI reported on Wednesday (October 28th). The transfer of accused terrorist Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Ahmednah from the Nouakchott Central Prison was reportedly prompted by the recent arrests of five presumed al-Qaeda members. Ould Ahmednah is also suspected of involvement in the kidnapping and subsequent beheading of 11 Mauritanian soldiers in Aklet Tourine in September 2008.
