The government of Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi has been accused of war crimes by the International Criminal Court. Evidence has surfaced that one of his sons was recruiting mercenaries a full month before the popular uprising broke out, implying that the regime was preparing for violence. There is also evidence that Minister of Intelligence was coordinating the killing of civilians.
International Criminal Court reports that they have been receiving telephone calls from members of the Gadhafi regime expressing a willingness to cooperate with any investigation.
While it is unprecedented that a person be charged with war crimes during an ongoing conflict, the International Criminal Court believes that this is the only way to prevent Gadhafi from committing more atrocities against the Libyan people.
