Amal Alamuddin¡¯s photo was splashed across the world last month after the announcement of her engagement to George Clooney.

Soon, she could return to the front pages in a more controversial role ¡ª when she stands up in court to represent former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi¡¯s notorious spy chief in a case that could scupper the reputation of the International Criminal Court.

Abdullah al-Senussi is no one¡¯s idea of a poster boy for justice. As Gadhafi¡¯s intelligence chief and right-hand man for four decades, the 64-year-old supervised torture, assassinations and town-square hangings.
