Who is Musa Kousa

With the news that Musa Kousa Gaddafi's foreign minister has defected to England, his journey has come full circle back to London where he was the Libyan ambassador there and was subsequently expelled in June, 1980 for approving and masterminding the killing of Libyan exiles.

Malta today on March 30th, has an in-depth story on Musa Kousa and his defection.  Kousa was Gaddafi's right hand man and he was instrumental in negotiating the settlement for the Lockerbie bombings that brought Libya back from the cold.
"Mousa Kousa is the only member within the Gaddafi regime who has not been included in the UN sanctions list"
Libyans are generally happy that Kousa has defected as it will accelerate the fall of the Gaddafi regime, however many still wish to find a way to prosecute him for his crimes against Libyans.
