Xan Rice

Nairobi: The international Criminal Court in The Hague has announced that it had issued arrest warrants for a Janjaweed militia leader and a Sudanese government minister suspected of involvement in murder, torture and rape in Darfur.

However, Khartoum said it had no intention of handing over the men — Ali Muhammad al Abd-al-Rahman, known as ``Ali Kushayb'', and Ahmad Muhammad Harun, the State Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, who are accused of 41 and 50 counts respectively of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
