Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for former Libyan leader Moammar
Gadhafi on charges that he has committed crimes against humanity.
In a statement released Friday, Interpol says it issued a "red notice" for
the arrest of Mr. Gadhafi, his son Saif al-Islam and former intelligence chief
Abdullah al-Senussi, asking all 188 member countries to help locate and
apprehend them.
Interpol Secretary-General Ronald Noble called Gadhafi a "fugitive," and
said the arrest warrant will help restrict his ability to cross international
borders.
Gadhafi, whose whereabouts are unknown, has been on the run since
anti-regime fighters swept into the capital of Tripoli on August 21.
On Thursday, a Syrian television station aired an audio message purportedly
from Mr. Gadhafi, who rejected reports he may have fled the country for
neighboring Niger. Gadhafi said his forces are still able to carry out attacks
against National Transitional Council fighters, who he called "rats, germs and
scumbags."
Meanwhile, the head of Libya's provisional government says the battle for
liberation is not yet finished, and that the country must be unified in order to
rebuild after six months of civil war.
Speaking in his first major address from the capital Tripoli on Thursday,
National Transitional Council leader Mahmoud Jibril said there are still some
cities in Libya's south in the hands of forces loyal to ousted leader Moammar
Gadhafi. He says a new government can only be formed once fighting ends and the
entire country is "liberated."
Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Thursday the transition
process in Libya cannot move backwards, and the United Nations will continue to
help the Libyan people reach their aspirations of human rights and
democracy. |
