Prime Minister designate Abdurrahim El Keib said earlier that he needed to check whether Senussi had indeed been captured before he could confirm it, casting doubt on whether Senussi had in fact been captured.
“He is in the hands of the Je’fel Fezzan,” General Ahmed Al-Hamdouni told Reuters by phone.
 

French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero said Monday that France is in talks with “relevant jurisdictions” to ensure that Al-Senussi is held to account. The French government wants him to stand trial in France for a deadly bombing of a French airliner over two decades ago.
Revolutionary fighters captured Al-Senussi in southern Libya on Sunday. He was among six people tried and convicted in absentia 12 years ago in France over the 1989 bombing of a UTA airline flight over Niger that killed all 170 people — including 54 French citizens.
Al-Senussi, a brother-in-law of the late Libyan leader, is also wanted by the International Criminal Court.
