THE HAGUE, March 26 (Reuters) - Congolese warlord Bosco Ntaganda appeared for the first time before the International Criminal Court in the Hague on Tuesday, after evading arrest on war crimes charges for seven years.
Ntaganda is accused of murder, rape and other atrocities over a 15-year-period of fighting in Rwandan-backed rebellions in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. (Reporting by Thomas Escritt; Editing by Sara Webb; Editing by Louise Ireland)
