The dreaded drafur militia leader , prosecuted by international court of justice for war drimes, has been nabbed by the sudanes police. The leader Ali Kuushayb is wated for several genocide since february.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Ali Mohamed Ali Abdel-Rahman - known as Ali Kushayb - in February last year.
Sudanese Justice Minister Abdel Basit Sabderat said an investigation into alleged crimes committed by Ali Kushayb was now drawing to an end.
The ICC chief prosecutor also accuses Sudan's president of crimes in Darfur.
The government is lobbying hard for the UN Security Council to delay an ICC investigation into whether President Omar al-Bashir should be charged with war crimes.
The BBC's Amber Henshaw in the capital, Khartoum, says Sudan has refused to co-operate with the ICC case and is insisting on conducting its own investigations into crimes in Darfur.
