***Breaking News*** DR Congo's Bosco Ntaganda in ICC custody

Congolese war crimes suspect Bosco Ntaganda has left Rwanda and is on the way to The Hague in the custody of the International Criminal Court.

Gen Ntaganda, a key figure in the conflict in eastern DR Congo, surrendered to the US embassy in Kigali on Monday.

The ICC has charged him with 10 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, which Gen Ntaganda denies.

A date for his first appearance before judges is expected to be set soon.
Gen Ntaganda is the first suspect to surrender himself voluntarily to the ICC's custody.
"This is a good day for victims in the DRC and for international justice," said ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.

"Today those who have long suffered at the hands of Bosco Ntaganda can look forward to the future and the prospect of justice secured."
