DAKAR (Reuters) - Senegal's former President Abdoulaye Wade returned to the West African country late on Friday amid tight security at the airport, two days later than planned due to flight problems that his party blamed on the government of successor Macky Sall.

Wade's return was delayed after his hired jet was stuck in Morocco, prompting accusations from the opposition Senegalese Democratic Party (PDS) that the flight had been refused permission to land in Dakar on Wednesday.
