British MOD: 'Likely that ICC would seek charges against Assad...'

(AP)- LONDON - "A British official says Syrian President Bashar Assad could eventually be referred to the International Criminal Court alongside Libya's Moammar Gadhafi... British defence minister, Nick Harvey, told British legislators he believed it was likely the court would in the future seek to charge Assad over Syria's violent crackdown on protests.
He said the court was "highly likely to arrive at a similar conclusion" in the case of Assad as it had over Gadhafi."
