The Hague criminal court issues warrant for Libyan leader Gaddafi
The International Criminal Court in The Hague on Monday issued an arrest warrant for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Earlier this year, the court accused him of crimes against humanity and of ordering attacks on civilians after an uprising began in mid-February.
The court has also issued warrants for Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam, and his brother-in-law and intelligence chief, Abdullah Senussi, for crimes against humanity.
The warrants were requested by chief ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo in May.
