International prosecutors seek arrest warrant for Moammar Gaddafi

 

GORAN TOMASEVIC/ REUTERS - A rebel vehicle is hit by a shell fired by soldiers loyal to 
 Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, during a battle in Ras Lanuf, March 10, 2011.

TRIPOLI, Libya — Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court requested arrest warrants Monday for Moammar Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi and Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah Senussi, saying all three had committed crimes against humanity in the killings of Libyan protesters over the past three months.
The request, accompanied by a 74-page dossier detailing the alleged crimes, was bolstered by information from “high-level officials in Gaddafi’s regime” who contacted The Hague in the past week, prosecutors said.
