Voice of America reported Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi on charges that he has committed crimes against humanity.
In a statement released Friday, Interpol says it issued a “red notice” for the arrest of Mr. Gadhafi, his son Saif al-Islam and former intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi, asking all 188 member countries to help locate and apprehend them.
Interpol Secretary-General Ronald Noble called Gadhafi a “fugitive,” and said the arrest warrant will help restrict his ability to cross international borders.
Gadhafi, whose whereabouts are unknown, has been on the run since anti-regime fighters swept into the capital of Tripoli on August 21.
