Court seeks arrest warrants for Gaddafi, his son and son-in-law

Addressing the media at The Hague, chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said forces loyal to Gaddafi had attacked civilians in their homes, shot at demonstrators, shelled funeral processions and used snipers to kill people leaving mosques.

Moreno-Ocampo claimed the three held meetings and ordered, planned and participated in illegal attacks.

Judges must now evaluate the evidence before deciding whether to confirm the charges and issue international arrest warrants. More than 1,200 documents including video and pictures were reviewed in the investigation against Kadhafi and more than 50 interviews conducted or individuals screened to be interviewed.
