Terror suspect escapes West African courthouse
NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania (AP) - April 2, 2008 Sidi Ould Sidna was being interrogated at the main courthouse in
Mauritania's capital Wednesday when he asked his guards for
permission to go to the bathroom.
A witness says the guards allowed him to go in by himself, but
did not guard the doorway. When he re-emerged and did not see the
guards, Sidna ran for the door, losing himself in the crowd
outside.
The four French tourists - including two children - were gunned
down on a roadside in December.
