DRC rebel chief ‘the Terminator’ convicted of war crimes
Bosco Ntaganda is found guilty at ICC of charges including directing massacres of civilians
International criminal court judges have convicted a Congolese rebel chief known as “the Terminator” of war crimes, including directing massacres of civilians and rape, in a significant victory for prosecutors in The Hague.
Bosco Ntaganda, 45, was a key leader who gave orders to target and kill civilians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s volatile, mineral-rich Ituri region in 2002 and 2003, the head judge, Robert Fremr, said.
