Mauritanian opposition questions legitimacy of Air Mauritanie investigation
2008-11-17
Mauritania's anti-coup National Front for the Defence of Democracy (FNDD)) denounced Sunday (November 16th) the recent arrests of some of its members as part of the investigation into the Air Mauritanie liquidation, local press reported.

FNDD claims the arrests aim to distract attention from the international sanctions threatening the ruling military junta.
