ICC says it wont negotiate with Gaddafis son

After speculation about the fate of Muammar Gaddafi’s son, the International Criminal Court insists it will not negotiate with Saif al-Islam Gaddafi.The International Criminal Court chief prosecutor said an intermediary contacted the court about Saifs potential surrender for trial.Speaking in China, Luis Moreno Ocampo said the court merely answered some legal questions. “We’re not in any negotiations with Saif, we just clarify these issues. It’s up to Saif Gaddafi to decide if hes surrendering himself, if hes staying in hiding, or plan to escape to a country.”Saif is accused of hiring mercenaries to kill unarmed protesters during Libya’s uprising.“We have a witness who explained how Saif was involved in the planning of attacks against civilians, including in particular, the hiring of mercenaries from different countries, and the transport of them, and also the financial aspect he was covering, and sometimes involvement in the planning of criminal operations, so we have substantial evidence to prove the case.”Saif is believed to be hiding from Libyas National Transitional Council forces along the border with Niger. The ICC has warned it could intercept an escape attempt if he tries to flee by plane.
