               US Says Wanted Congo General At Embassy in Rwanda

   by VOA News

   The U.S. State Department says Bosco Ntaganda, a Congolese general
   wanted for alleged war crimes, has turned himself in at the U.S.
   embassy in Rwanda.
   State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland says Ntaganda walked into
   the embassy Monday morning and asked to be transferred to the
   International Criminal Court in the Hague.
   She said the U.S. is working with a number of governments, including
   Rwanda's, to facilitate his request.
   Ntaganda has been indicted by the International Criminal Court on seven
   counts of war crimes and three counts of crimes against humanity.
   The ICC says that as leader of a militia in the eastern Democratic
   Republic of Congo, he was criminally responsible for the use of child
   soldiers and acts of murder, rape and sexual slavery.
   Ntaganda was more recently associated with the DRC rebel group M23.  In
   New York Monday, the United Nations said his faction of the group was
   routed by a rival faction, which prompted up to 600 Congolese
   combatants and civilians to cross into Rwanda.
   Rwandan Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo first announced Ntaganda's
   surrender Monday on her Twitter account.
