 DAKAR, Senegal (AP) - Police on Tuesday arrested Hissene Habre, the former dictator of Chad who was wanted on an international war crimes warrant 15 years after his fall from power in the destitute central African country.
Habre, who is accused of murder, torture and a host of other crimes during his eight-year reign, was arrested at his home in Senegal's seaside capital, where he had lived in exile with his family since his ouster in 1990.
Wearing white robes and cap, the 63-year old Habre waved to reporters outside court after his arrest. He made no remarks before being taken to jail and his lawyer could not be immediately reached for comment.
