Africa: Liberia: Rebel Leader Sought

Wanted for a campaign of rapes and mutilations in Sierra Leone and accused in the assassination of Felix Doh, a top rebel commander in western Ivory Coast, the warlord Sam Bockarie has found shelter in Liberia, the chief investigator for a special United Nations court said. Mr. Bockarie has been in hiding since his March 10 indictment by the Sierra Leone-based court for crimes against humanity. The investigator, Al White, called on the Liberian president, Charles Taylor, to turn him in or risk prosecution for harboring a war criminal.
