ALARM - Charles Taylor arrived to Monrovia and transferred in a helicopter
MONROVIA - former bast president Charles Taylor, expelled Wednesday of Nigeria, arrived at the Roberts airport of Monrovia on board an apparatus of the Nigerian presidency and was immediately led in a helicopter of the United Nations, noted a correspondent of AFP.
He' still has prison sentence to complete in Massahcusetts where he broke out of jail but something tells me he won't be coming back.
Are they actually going to try him in Liberia where he committed his atrocities or are they going to send him to the Hague where the trial will drag on for years?
As head of the General Services Agency, Taylor directed the purchasing of the Liberian government. He was later ousted from the post in May of 1983, accused of embezzling more than $900,000 in government funds to a Citibank account. That October, Taylor fled to the United States.
Taylor was arrested in May of 1984, and a court in Boston determined that there were sufficient grounds to detain him while Liberia's request to send the fugitive back were considered. In September of 1985, while awaiting extradition, Taylor escaped from the Plymouth House of Corrections.
Charles Taylor was a financial supporter of al-Qaida. He will be tried in Hell.
