ICC prosecutor looks at attacks by rebels on peacekeepers in Darfur
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
With an arrest warrant pending against Sudan's president, the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor said Thursday he was focusing on another war crime case in Darfur involving two suspected rebel commanders allegedly directing attacks against peacekeepers.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo's comments came days after announcing he was seeking a warrant to arrest the Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
On Thursday, he discussed new details about an investigation into violence against peacekeepers in Sudan's remote Darfur region.
One case of key interest is an attack against the Haskanita military base late last year that left 10 African Union soldiers dead and 1 missing.
