This indiscreet diplomat had recently visited the newspaper “Al Bayan al-Souhoufi” and would have blown its director, Ibrahim Ould Moulay Ahmed, a false “scoop” suitable for Nouakchott intention of wanting to “make a complaint to the UN against Morocco to a deliberate attempt to invade Mauritania with drugs!”
Monday, April 21, following the instructions given by the Nouakchott authorities, the journalist “manipulated” was convened in the premises of the direction of the Mauritanian security to meet this package.
According to the Mauritanian newspaper Alakhbar Info, the diplomat Cherouati was sighted in the premises of “Al Bayan al-Souhoufi few hours before the publication of the article.”
