                   ICC to Weigh Sending Gbagbo Case to Trial

   The International Criminal Court is due to open a hearing Tuesday to
   decide if the case against former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo
   will go to trial.
   Gbagbo faces four counts of crimes against humanity for his alleged
   role in the violence that followed his defeat in the country's 2010
   presidential election.
   His arrest marked an end to months of fighting that killed 3,000 people
   and displaced more than one million as he struggled to hold on to
   leadership of the country.
   Gbagbo has been in ICC custody since November 2011, and the court has
   twice delayed the hearing into whether there is enough evidence for him
   to stand trial.
   The ICC has also indicted his wife, Simone Gbagbo, for crimes against
   humanity.
