Prosecutor accuses president of genocide

The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has accused Sudan\'s president of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur.



Luis Moreno-Ocampo told judges at The Hague, that Omar al-Bashir bore criminal responsibility for alleged atrocities committed over the past five years.



The three-judge panel must now decide whether there are reasonable grounds for an arrest warrant to be issued.



Sudan\'s foreign ministry said it did not recognise the International Criminal Court or its decisions.



Cabinet Minister al-Samani al-Wasila has described the accusations as politically motivated.
