BANGUI, Rajab 21, 1434, May 31, 2013, SPA -- The new government of Central African Republic has issued an international arrest warrant against deposed former president Francois Bozize, accusing him of "crimes against humanity and incitement to genocide", Reuters cited the state prosecutor as saying on Friday. Thousands of fighters from the Seleka rebel coalition, angered by what they said was Bozize's refusal to honour an earlier peace deal, marched into the capital Bangui on March 24, forcing him to flee to neighbouring Cameroon. The mineral-rich nation's new leaders opened an investigation last month into alleged crimes committed during his 10-year reign. Prosecutor Alain Tolmo told journalists in Bangui that the crimes uncovered by the investigation fall under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. However, he did not say if the government planned to ask that Bozize be tried before The Hague court. -- SPA 19:59 LOCAL TIME 16:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1115799
