International judges at The Hague, Netherlands ordered the arrest of Moammar Gadhafi today (June 27, 2011) for murdering civilians, as world leaders stepped up calls for the Libyan leader to end his four-decade rule, according to the Associated Press website.
The International Criminal Court said Gadhafi, his son Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, and his intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanoussi are wanted for orchestrating the killing, injuring, arrest, and imprisonment of hundreds of civilians during the first 12 days of an uprising to topple Gadhafi from power, and for trying to cover up the alleged crimes.
The warrants from the court in The Hague turn the three men into internationally wanted suspects.
