FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) - The top prosecutor at the U.N.-backed Sierra Leone war crimes court announced his resignation Friday, but left the door open to returning one day to lead the prosecution against ex-Liberian President Charles Taylor.
Desmond de Silva said he would leave his post after a year in the job when his contract ends June 30, saying he wished to return to his family and his London legal practice.
He said he would consider returning to lead the case against Taylor, the court's highest-profile prisoner, if U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan asked him to.
