Not ICC to try Saif al-Islam
Libya stood firm on Sunday over the trial of Muammar Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam, saying its courts could judge him fairly, defying the International Criminal Court, which says it is its right try him at The Hague for crimes against humanity, the Reuters reports.
As news came in of the capture of Gaddafi's feared intelligence chief, Abdullah al-Senussi, officials said he, too, would be given a fair trial in Libya.
The ICC has indicted Saif al-Islam for allegedly ordering the killing of unarmed protesters during the uprising that brought an end to his father's 42-year rule. It has indicted Senussi on the same charge of crimes against humanity.
