ICC prosecutor asks for Gaddafi arrest warrant

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday asked judges in The Hague to issue an arrest warrant against Libyan leader Moamer Gaddafi on charges of crimes against humanity.

'The evidence shows that Moamer Gaddafi personally ordered attacks on unarmed Libyan civilians,' Luis Moreno-Ocampo told journalists in The Hague.

Moreno-Ocampo was also requesting arrest warrants for one of Gaddafi's sons, Saif al-Islam, and another member of the regime.
