ICC team detained in Libya freed: officials
2012-07-03
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Libya has freed four envoys of the International Criminal Court
... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ...
who were set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
after visiting the son of slain leader Muammar Qadaffy
...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland...
last month, a brigade commander and an official said.

"The four members (of the ICC team) were released," Ajmi al-Atiri, commander of a brigade holding Seif al-Islam Qadaffy told journalists in Zintan, a hilltop town southwest of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of thich is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
The four, including Australian lawyer Melinda Taylor, have been held in Zintan since June 7 after travelling there to help prepare Seif al-Islam's defence.

Taylor was accused of carrying a pen camera and attempting to give Seif al-Islam a coded letter from his former right-hand man, Mohammed Ismail, who is wanted by the Libyan authorities.

Libya accused the team of "breaching national security."

Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammed Abdelaziz said the release was the result of an agreement between his country and the ICC, which committed to continue investigations and keep Libya in the loop of its findings.
