Nine-year old is sole survivor of Libya plane crash
At least 70 Dutch citizens are now known to have died in Wednesday's plane crash in Libya. The Dutch Foreign Ministry has confirmed that the sole survivor was a 9-year old Dutch boy, Ruben van Assouw, who lost his parents and his elder brother. Our correspondent John Tyler has the latest news.

'I'll nail those suspects'
Luis Moreno Ocampo, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, is back in the Netherlands, after a five-day visit to Kenya to investigate the country's 2008 post-election violence. More than 1300 people were killed. 'I'll nail suspects in six months', Mr Ocampo said at the end of his visit. RNW's Eric Beauchemin travelled with him and he told us what kind of reception the ICC prosecutor got in Kenya.
