The prosecutor at the International Criminal Court warned Wednesday that the situation in Libya "remains dire" and promised to seek new arrest warrants if serious crimes don't stop. She expressed concern at crimes against migrants transiting through Libya and said "such crimes may fall within the jurisdiction of the court." "Let me be clear: If serious crimes ... continue to be committed in Libya, I will not hesitate to bring new applications for warrants of arrest," Bensouda said. She said her office is also trying to locate Al-Tuhamy Mohamed Khaled, who is wanted for four crimes against humanity and three war crimes, including torture, persecution, cruel treatment and outrages upon personal dignity. The charges involve prisoners held by Libyan security forces during protests against Gadhafi's regime in 2011.
