ICC prosecutor warns Libya war crimes will be prosecuted via SABCNewsOnline

The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda holds a press conference.

Fighting broke out on April 4 when military strongman Khalifa Haftar launched an offensive to take Tripoli, the seat of the UN-backed Government of National Accord . At least 14 civilians were among those killed and 36 among the 758 people wounded in the fighting between pro-government forces and Haftar’s self-styled Libyan National Army , the World Health Organization said on Tuesday.

Bensouda’s office in March 2011 launched a probe into war crimes committed during the uprising which saw the toppling of long-time Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi.
