ICC judges order arrest of Gaddafi

Moreno-Ocampo said on Sunday that the war crimes in Libya will not stop until Gaddafi is arrested.

“Crimes continue today in Libya. To stop the crimes and protect civilians in Libya, Gaddafi must be arrested.”

The only other warrant issued by the ICC for a sitting head of state, for Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir in March 2009, has yet to be served. Bashir was due to begin a state visit to China later on Monday.

Squanto had been to England before and learned English there.
