Summary from United States, from articles in English
The prosecutor of the ICC is expected to seek an arrest warrant Monday charging Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir with orchestrating violence in Darfur that has left hundreds of thousands of people dead since 2003. (article 6) The court, based in The Hague, Netherlands, said the prosecutor will present evidence of war crimes in Darfur to judges Monday and one or more new suspects would be named. (article 6) A senior European envoy told Reuters on Friday that Bashir was likely to be among those named by ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo on Monday as he seeks arrest warrants for suspected war criminals in Darfur. (article 1) This week, the prosecutor privately informed Security Council members that he would ask the judges on Monday at the court in The Hague to issue an arrest warrant for Sudan's president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, diplomats said. (article 3) The indictment of a sitting head of state in a war-torn country would not be unprecedented: Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia and Charles Taylor of Liberia were both charged by international war crimes courts while in office. (article 3) DAKAR, Senegal - Seven international peacekeepers were killed and 22 wounded in a brazen day ambush by heavily armed men in trucks and on horseback in the Sudanese province of Darfur, United Nations officials said Wednesday.
