Libya: International Prosecutors Work To Bring Gaddafi Officials To Justice 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



In news from Libya, International Criminal Court prosecutor Luis
Moreno-Ocampo said his office is leading efforts to bring Seif al-Islam
to justice, as well as the former Libyan leader's spy chief. Ocampo says
efforts are underway to secure the surrender of Seif al-Islam, the son
of the late Col. Muammar Gaddafi. Meanwhile, Ocampo vowed to probe
possible war crimes committed by NATO and NATO-backed forces during the
seven month fight that led to the fall of Gaddafi.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo, International Criminal Court prosecutor: "We are
also receiving information that a group of mercenaries may be
endeavoring to facilitate Saif al-Islam's escape from Libya. We are
calling upon the state to do all it can to disrupt any such operation.
It is up to Saif al-Islam Gaddafi and Abdullah al-Senussi to decide if
they will surrender themselves, remain in hiding or try to escape to
another country. It is up to the U.N. Security Council and state to
ensure that they face justice for the crimes for which they are
charged."
