Judges at the International Criminal Court in The Hague will today announce whether they will order the arrest of Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, one of his sons and his intelligence chief on charges of crimes against humanity.
Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo accuses Gaddafi claims that Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi ordered mass rapes and gave troops Viagra-type drugs to encourage sex attacks, opening fire on demonstrators, shelling funeral processions and using snipers to kill people leaving mosques.
Moreno-Ocampo is expecting a decision soon from judges on his request for charges of crimes against humanity to be laid against the Libyan leader, his son Seif al-Islam and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanussi.
If the court issues arrest warrants, it will turn Gaddafi, his son Seif al-Islam Gaddafi and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanoussi into internationally wanted suspects.
The court, however, will not be able to enforce the warrant as it relies on other states to make arrests.
