Mauritania's prime minister Yahya Ould Ahmed Waghf has been freed
by his captors, five days after being arrested by troops who
overthrew the country's government.
The president, the prime
minister and Interior Minister were siezed by military forces last
Wednesday. Soldiers loyal to junta leader Ould Abdel Aziz, the
former head of the presidential guard, overthrew the government in
Nouakchott for attempting to fire Mauritania's top military
commanders.
