Tunisia seeks Ben Ali extradition from Saudi Arabia


Tunisia is formally requesting the extradition of ex-President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali from Saudi Arabia, where he fled last month.

Mr Ben Ali flew to Saudi Arabia on 14 January after 23 years in power, after being toppled by weeks of protests.

The 74-year-old former leader is reportedly very ill in hospital after suffering a stroke.
