UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is urging Libya and other nations to help arrest six men allegedly linked to a brutal militia blamed for multiple killings and other crimes in a strategically important western town where mass graves were discovered in 2020. Karim Khan told the U.N. Security Council Tuesday that he is ready to work with the Libyan government and people as well as countries that are parties to the ICC and those that are not. The six men were either key members of or associated with the Al Kaniyat militia. The militia controlled the town of Tarhuna from at least 2015 to June 2020, when government forces ousted them.
