Interpol has issued red notices for the arrest of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, his son Seif al-Islam and the country's ex-head of military intelligence, Abdullah al-Senussi. It comes as the ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) in Libya continues to search for the former ruler and preparations for a final military assault on Gaddafi bastions appears imminent. The move also comes in response to a request by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, which is seeking the men for alleged crimes against humanity. Gaddafi hasn't been seen in public for months and went underground after anti-regime fighters swept into Tripoli on August 21. Interpol said in a statement Friday it had transmitted the red notices to its 188 member countries. The head of the Lyon, France-based organization, Ronald Nobel, called the notices “a powerful tool” in helping lead to the capture of the Gaddafis and al-Senussi. BM
