 FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) - Former Liberian President Charles Taylor, captured on the run in Nigeria with sacks full of cash, was flown to Sierra Leone on Wednesday to be tried on war crimes charges.
A white U.N. helicopter carrying Taylor left neighboring Liberia and landed inside the compound of the U.N.-backed war crimes tribunal that will try the former warlord, U.N. officials said. A second U.N. chopper also landed on the helipad in the capital, Freetown.
Taylor then was jailed.
