Del Ponte accuses two African countries of blocking arrests

    NAIROBI
    The prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), Carla del Ponte, on Wednesday told journalists in Arusha that she was optimistic that more indictments would be issued next year, although the arrest of some indicted individuals was being hampered by “two African countries that were harbouring them”. Del Ponte did not name the countries. “These fugitives are traveling around the world using different names and genuine passports issued by some African countries,” she added.
