A former leader of an armed group in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been sent to the International Criminal Court (ICC) accused of ordering the deaths of about 200 villagers in 2003, officials say. Mathieu Ngudjolo, the former chief of the Nationalist and Integrationist Front, was arrested in Kinshasa and sent to the Hague on Thursday. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the chief prosecutor at the ICC, said the transfer of Ngudjolo, accused of ordering his men to "wipe out" the entire northeastern village of Bogoro, "completes the first phase of the DR Congo investigations" focusing on crimes in the Ituri region.
