S Leone trio guilty of war crimes

Freetown, 25 Feb-(ANA)-A war crimes court has found three Sierra Leone rebel commanders guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Issa Sesay, 38, Morris Kallon, 45, and Augustine Gbao, 60, had denied 18 charges at the court in Freetown.

The trial of the RUF rebel leaders - related to Sierra Leone's decade-long civil war - began in mid-2004.

The court had heard how the trio had been involved in the rape, mutilation and murder of civilians. It is the last case to be held at the special court. (ANA)
