Libya Government Denounces International Arrest Warrants For Gaddafi and Aides 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Libyan government has dismissed the arrest warrants for Libyan
leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi and two of his closest aides. Libya says it
rejects the charges of war crimes and does not recognize the legitimacy
of the international criminal court. But Libyans in rebel-held areas of
the country celebrated news of the arrest warrants.

Huda Al- Hajj Mohammed, Misurata resident: "We've been waiting not from
the beginning of February, not from the beginning of this revolution,
but from 42 years ago. And I hope justice will prevail and everyone will
be happy."
