Libya rejects ICC arrest warrant for Muammar Gaddafi



Libya has rejected a warrant issued by the ICC for the arrest of  Muammar Gaddafi. The ICC earlier blamed the Libyan leader of Muammar Gaddafi. The court had grounds to believe he had ordered attacks on civilians during Libya's four-month uprising, it said.

The Hague-based court also issued warrants for two Qaddafi's son named Saif al-Islam and Abdullah al-Sanussi.

Thousands of people are believed to have been killed in the conflict.

Anti-Gaddafi forces said on Monday they had launched a new push towards Tripoli, with heavy fighting near the strategic town of Bir al-Ghanam, to the south-west of capital.

The rebel defence minister told the BBC that forces opposed to Col Gaddafi may also make a move on the capital from the east.
