Arrest Warrant Issued for Gadhafi

If 100 days of air strikes weren't enough to budge Gadhafi, then surely a strongly worded warrant for his arrest will.

News on the war-crimes front keeps on coming today, with the International Criminal Court issuing an arrest warrant for Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi on charges of crimes against humanity. Charged alongside the Terror of Tripoli are his son; Saif al-Islam, Gadhafi's likely successor; and military intelligence chief Abdullah Sennussi, who are all facing charges of murdering civilians during the country's uprising in February and the subsequent war. Gadhafi now gets to add another dubious accolade to his collection, as he becomes just the second sitting head of state to be indicted by the ICC, following Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who was charged with similar crimes against humanity in 2009. As Al Jazeera noted, the warrants were issued on the 100th day of the NATO-led mission to protect civilians unseat Gadhafi.
