Luis Moreno-Campo said that the ICC's Sherlocks are "following information about the probable whereabouts" of Seif al-Islam and former Libyan intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi "and we are encouraging efforts to arrest them".
Both were indicted by the International Criminal Court in June for unleashing a campaign of murder and torture to suppress the uprising against the Al Qadaffy regime. They, along with the former Libyan dictator himself were indicted, but the case against Al Qadaffy will be dropped after his death last month outside his hometown of Sirte.
Unlike his father, Seif al-Islam is believed to have slipped out of the country and his whereabouts are unknown. So too al-Senoussi, who are thought to have decamped to Mali. But the government there has said it will arrest them if they are caught.
Moreno-Ocampo has said the court is pressing countries to prevent Seif's escape by denying any plane carrying him permission to fly through their air space. He even mentioned Zim-bob-we as a possible country where the runaway could seek refuge.
The ICC prosecutor said late last month he was in indirect contact through an intermediary with Seif al-Islam about the possibility of him turning himself in. But the contacts appear to have led nowhere. Even so, Moreno-Ocampo said on Wednesday "it is a matter of time" before Seif is locked away and brought to justice. "It is not if he will be locked away, it is when," Moreno-Ocampo said. "Saif will face justice, that's his destiny."

Luis Moreno-Ocampo has been reported saying by AP that he also was making headway with an investigation into allegations of widespread rapes that he believed were part of an organised campaign of sexual abuse by Al Qadaffy supporters during the conflict. He believes the ICC has one witness who was a soldier who said he received instructions to rape.
ICC Sherlocks are now trying to pin down exactly who ordered the sex attacks. "We are trying to connect the rapes with instructions given by commanders," he said.
Moreno-Ocampo told the UN Security Council last week that Sherlocks are probing hundreds of alleged rapes, but he said the true number could run to thousands. He said it is difficult to establish the exact number because victims are reluctant to report rapes.
