ICC in contact with Gaddafi's son

The International Criminal Court is in "informal contact" with slain Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's fugitive son Seif al-Islam over his surrender, the court's prosecutor said yesterday.
The Court said intermediaries had been used in indirect talks with Saif al-Islam.
Prosecutors said the court had made it clear to Gaddafi's son, who is wanted for crimes against humanity, that he was innocent until proven guilty.
Seif al-Islam, who was once the presumed successor to his father, has been in hiding for months.
Recent reports claimed he was in a convoy heading toward Libya's desert border with Niger, where other Gaddafi allies have fled.
But those reports have not been confirmed, and the ICC said it did not know where he was.
ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo said in a statement that the ICC wanted him to face trial.
The ICC arrest warrant issued for Saif al-Islam in June accuses him of murder and persecution.
Moreno Ocampo said the ICC had learnt "through informal channels" that mercenaries were offering to move Saif al-Islam to a country that has not signed up to the ICC's statute.
Reports say Zimbabwe is a likely final destination for Seif al-Islam if he chooses to flee from the ICC.
