ICC Issues New Arrest Warrant For Sudan’s Al-Bashir
---------------------------------------------------



The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for
Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for the crime of genocide for his

will be added to the warrant issued last year for war crimes and crimes
against humanity. Al-Bashir has so far defied the ICC’s orders and
denied all accusations
