No arrest warrant issued...yet

Yesterday, The New York Times reported that the International Criminal Court (ICC) had announced its decision to issue an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.

Today, it seems that the ICC is trying to control the information leak, issuing a statement denying that any kind of decision has been made.

Still, the indictment is expected to be handed down in the next few days, and the threat to civilian lives remains.  We'll do our best to keep you posted on breaking news.
