| 2003-06-15 | |
Freetown, SPA — Sierra Leone's former military junta ruler Johnny Paul Koroma, who has been indicted by a U.N.-backed war crimes court, is dead, Reuters quoted the court's top investigator as saying on Sunday. "I told the indictee's wife that her husband has been killed and we got this from credible information," Alan White told the news agency by telephone in Sierra Leone's capital Freetown. Koroma had been on the run since January this year.
