Morocco considers extradition of ex-Mauritanian leader's son

Moroccan judicial authorities are considering the extradition to Mauritania of the son of ex-President Khouna Ould Haidalla, who is wanted by Interpol over alleged drug trafficking.

Morocco's Supreme Court is expected to rule on the extradition request Wednesday, judicial sources said here Monday.

Mohammed Ould Haidalla was arrested last July in the Moroccan southern city of Agadir with 18 kg of cocaine.

His father, Khouna Ould Haidalla, led Mauritania from 1980 to 1984 when his administration was toppled by Maaouiya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya.
