Kenya's Gov't Backs Violence Trials

Kenya's government says it will co-operate with the International Criminal Court (ICC) to try key suspects in post-election violence. The list of suspects has not been published but it is believed to include ministers and prominent businessmen. On Wednesday, the ICC said it would try suspects after the government missed a deadline to set up a local tribunal. More than 1,300 people died in the worst clashes in decades following the December 2007 presidential election. Justice Minister Mutula Kilonzo said the ICC could hold its trials in Kenya and suspects would be arrested. Mr Kilonzo's remarks come ahead of a planned visit to the capital by Kofi Annan - who brokered a power-sharing deal which ended the crisis.
