Libya has restored full diplomatic relations with Iraq and plans to send an ambassador to Baghdad more than eight years after cutting off ties, Iraq's deputy foreign minister said Friday.

"There was a delegation that came here, and they said that this decision is under discussion at the foreign ministry in Libya and this step will be taken soon, and they took that step yesterday," Labid Abbawi told Agence France Presse.

Libya's new rulers, under pressure from human rights groups, have vowed to put on trial Moammar Gadhafi's former spy chief before June elections if Mauritania extradites him as expected.

Fathi Baaja of the National Transitional Council said that trials of Gadhafi loyalists have so far lagged in Libya due to inadequate prison infrastructure and a paralyzed judiciary.

Libya said Wednesday Mauritania had agreed to hand over Moammar Gadhafi’s former spy chief for trial on home soil, turning down rival extradition requests from France and a war crimes court.

"We have obtained an agreement from Mauritania to deliver (Abdullah) Senussi to Libya where he will receive a fair trial. No date has been decided upon but it will be very soon," government spokesman Nasser al-Manaa said.

Libya's vice-premier said Monday his country was determined to have Moammar Gadhafi’s ex-spy chief, also wanted by the International Criminal Court, extradited to stand trial on home soil.

"We are determined to get (Abdullah) Senussi back, because this man has committed crimes against Libyans. He must answer to these in Libya, in front of Libyan courts," Mustafa Abu Shagur said on arrival in Mauritania where Senussi was arrested Friday.

NATO must investigate the killing of dozens of civilians during its air campaign in Libya last year and provide reparations to the people affected, Amnesty International said on Monday.

"Adequate investigations must be carried out and full reparation provided to victims and their families," said the rights group in a statement released one year after the first strike sorties were carried out by the alliance in Libya.

Libya's interim authorities now control all ports of entry to the country's third city of Misrata, a government official said on Sunday.

"All the ports were handed over," including the airport, said Ziyad Abdelali of the interior ministry.

Nouakchott has received requests from France and the International Criminal Court (ICC) to extradite Libya's ex-spy chief Abdullah Senussi, a security source said Sunday.

"For the time being two requests have been received by Mauritania. One from France arrived on Saturday and the second from the ICC on Sunday," the source told AFP.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy Saturday hailed the arrest in Mauritania of Abdullah al-Senussi, the spymaster of Moammar Gadhafi, and will seek his extradition to France, his office said.

Senussi faced an international arrest warrant after a Paris court sentenced him in absentia to life for his alleged involvement in an attack on a French airliner in 1989 that killed 170 people, a statement from the Elysee said.

Libya wants Mauritania to extradite Abdullah al-Senussi, the arrested spymaster of slain dictator Moammar Gadhafi who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, the government said on Saturday.

"Telephone calls are underway by Libyan authorities to request his extradition," spokesman Salah al-Manaa told a news conference in Tripoli.

Clashes pitting backers and opponents of federalism in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi killed one person and wounded at least five on Friday, a medical official said.

"One person was killed and at least five others were wounded," Basma Mohammed told Agence France Presse.
