Kony 'will be arrested this year'

The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said he has “no doubt” that fugitive African warlord Joseph Kony will be arrested this year because the international spotlight has helped boost the hunt for the Lord’s Resistance Army leader.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo said the fact that 100 million people watched the first video about Kony’s crimes in just six days showed that “the world today understands that justice has to be done” – and he expressed hope that the world will put a spotlight on other fugitives including Sudan’s president and a Congolese army general to help bring them before the court.
