BNW: BiafraNigeriaWorld News December 05, 2003
Long Arm of US Law: Interpol Declares Charles Taylor Wanted The International police body, Interpol, has issued a notice for the arrest of former Liberian Presi-dent Charles Taylor, currently in exile in BiafraNigeria. The body also warned that Taylor "may be dangerous." The declaration by Interpol followed the request by United Nations Special Court in Sierra Leone which had earlier indicted him on charges of crimes against humanity, violation of the Geneva Convention , and other charges. But the Federal Govern-ment yesterday said it will not be harassed nor intimidated to handover the former Liberian leader. Taylor is being accused of training rebels in Sierra Leone in exchange for diamonds. The rebels engaged in torture, mutilation, rape, and abduction. They also killed thousands of civilians. The Interpol red notice was issued in accordance with a cooperation agreement between Interpol, based in Lyon, France, and the Sierra Leone court which completed the assignment in November. The court was established as a result of a UN Security Council resolution three years ago.
