Hague Trial Begins for Congolese Warlords
-----------------------------------------



At the Hague, a war crimes trial against two Congolese warlords has
begun. Germain Katanga and Mathieu Chui are accused of directing a
February 2003 attack on a village in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s
Ituri region. It’s the court’s second case after the Congolese warloard
Thomas Lubanga went on trial earlier this year.
