(Agence France-Presse) – Former Congolese warlord Bosco Ntaganda, nicknamed “The Terminator”, will face trial next year for war crimes including using child soldiers and sex slaves in his rebel army, the International Criminal Court said on Thursday. The Rwandan-born Ntaganda faces 13 war crimes and five counts of crimes against humanity for his role in a brutal civil conflict in the DR Congo’s volatile northeast a decade ago. “The Trial Chamber scheduled the opening of the trial on June 2,” the Hague-based ICC said in a statement.
