 THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - The International Criminal Court took its first suspect into custody Friday, flying in a Congolese warlord accused of atrocities during one of Africa's most brutal wars.
It was a major step for the court, the world's first permanent war crimes tribunal, enabling it to start its first trial nearly four years after setting to work.
An arrest warrant for Thomas Lubanga was issued on Feb. 10, but kept secret until the aircraft bringing him to the Netherlands left Congo's airspace.
