Sudan's dictator to be indicted on war crimes and genocide charges

Both the BBC and the Associated Press are reporting that Sudan's military dictator Omar el-Bashir will be indicted next week by the International Criminal Court. The Hague tribunal is expected to hand down charges of crimes against humanity and genocide related to massacres in Darfur, almost universally believed to be sponsored by the regime. Bashir's deputy is also expected to be indicted by the ICC.
