Gaddafi investigated for 'crimes against humanity'

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has said he will investigate Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, his sons and senior aides for crimes against humanity.

Thousands of people are thought to have died after security forces targeted protesters in unrest which began in mid-February.

Speaking to the BBC's Matthew Price, Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said he could not confirm that Libyan planes attacked civilians on the ground.
