Taylor Claims Nigeria Double-Crossed Him

In another weird twist to the already odd Charles Taylor saga, the former Liberian President is claiming that Nigerian security services first helped him escape, then re-captured him before sending him to Liberia to stand trial.

Taylor is not the most credible person, but there was something fishy going on here. In any case, Taylor is already plotting his defense. He wants Harvard lawprof Alan Dershowitz to defend him before the Sierra Leone Court. Now that would be a lot of fun to watch!
