Sudan: Darfur rebel leaders surrender to Hague court

Two Darfur rebel leaders have surrendered to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
The men, Abdallah Banda Abakaer Nourain and Saleh Mohammed Jerbo Jamus, were secretly indicted last year.
They are wanted for war crimes in connection with the deaths of 12 African Union peacekeepers in 2007.
Earlier this year, charges against another rebel leader to do with the same attack were dropped because of lack of evidence.
ICC judges ruled prosecutors could not prove that Bahr Idriss Abu Garda, who also gave himself up voluntarily, had planned the attack on the Haskanita AU camp in September 2007.
