THE HAGUE, Netherlands - Judges at the International Criminal Court are set to announce whether they will order the arrest of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, one of his sons and his intelligence chief on charges of crimes against humanity.

Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo accuses Gadhafi and his regime of opening fire on demonstrators, shelling funeral processions and using snipers to kill people leaving mosques in the early days of the crackdown on rebels fighting to topple Gadhafi from power.

If the court issues arrest warrants Monday, it will turn Gadhafi, his son Seif al-Islam Gadhafi and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanoussi into internationally wanted suspects.

However, the court has no police force and relies on other states to make arrests.
