CAIRO — The Libyan National Army handed over high-profile terrorist Hesham Ashmawi to the Egyptian authorities May 29. Ashmawi, who is convicted of carrying out terrorist attacks in Egypt, was delivered in a military plane. His interrogation started hours later.
Ashmawi's extradition comes after Abbas Kamel, the head of Egypt's intelligence service, visited Libya on May 28 and met with LNA commander Khalifa Hifter to discuss security relations between the two countries and efforts to combat terror organizations.
