    ICC halts investigation: Bashir celebrates
  • Omar Al-Bashir, wanted by ICC over alleged atrocities in Sudan's Darfur region, has hailed the court's suspension of further investigations.

    The investigations were halted to "shift resources to other urgent cases".

    Darfur entered into conflict in 2003 when ethnic insurgents rebelled against the Govt. for being marginalized. President Bashir accused ICC as one of the "tools aimed to humiliate and subjugate" his country.
