Belgium issued an international arrest warrant on September 19 for former Chadian president Hissène Habré, 63, for crimes against humanity and torture. The information was revealed two weeks later. The warrant was issued by Brussels-based examining magistrate Daniel Fransen and accompanied by a request for immediate arrest. It was sent via Interpol to authorities in Senegal, where Habré took refuge after being ousted in 1990 following an 8-year reign.
