The pianist a few feet away played “I Just Called to Say I love You. Men in traditional Qatari white kandouras – gowns – and headdresses sat scattered around the nearby café.Yet, the man’s distinctive features were until recently one of the best-known faces of the regime of Col Muammar Gaddafi. Moussa Koussa, the Libyan foreign minister who defected to Britain at the end of March, left for Qatar shortly afterwards to take part in a “Gulf contact group” meeting of countries with an interest in resolving theLibya crisis. He was expected to return to Britain shortly afterwards, where he was facing calls for his prosecution over accusations ranging from the Lockerbie bombing to supplying arms to the IRA. Ten weeks later, there is little sign of that at the Four Seasons, causing growing anger among Libyan exiles and others who want him to be put on trial at the International Criminal Court.
