ICC rejects Libya bid to suspend Gaddafi son handover
[Al Ahram] The  International Criminal Court... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ... on Thursday rejected Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... 's request to suspend the handover of slain leader Moamer Qadaffy's son Seif al-Islam. "The Appeals Chamber... rejected the Libyan authorities' request to suspend the surrender...," the Hague-based court's appeal judges said in a statement. They added that Tripoli remained "obliged" to hand over Seif al-Islam, who served as the late Libyan strongman's de facto prime minister. Tripoli's lawyers last month had asked the ICC, the world's only permanent court to try war crimes, to suspend an order to hand him over. Tripoli and the ICC have been involved in a legal tug-of-war over where Seif al-Islam and Qadaffy's former spy chief Abdullah Senussi should face trial for their roles in trying to put down Libya's bloody revolt in 2011.
