In news from Africa, calls are increasing for Nigeria to detain and arrest former Liberian president Charles Taylor who has been indicted for war crimes. On Saturday Nigeria’s president Olusegun Obasanjo said he would allow Liberia to take custody of Taylor but no details were released on how or when this would happen. The Liberian government said on Sunday Taylor could be sent directly to the UN-backed war crimes tribunal in Sierra Leone. Taylor has lived in Nigeria since 2003 when he stepped down as Liberia’s president. Obasanjo is traveling to Washington on Tuesday and is expected to meet with President Bush.
