Italy repatriated a Libyan warlord sought by the International Criminal Court due to security concerns, Italy’s interior minister told lawmakers Thursday in the government’s first official comment on its decision expel the suspect and not hand him over to face charges.
Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi fielded pointed questions from opposition lawmakers during a Senate session two days after Ossama Anjiem, also know as Ossama al-Masri, was flown on a government plane back to Tripoli, where he received a hero's welcome. He had been arrested over the weekend in Turin after attending a soccer match.
