FILE - In this Wednesday, March 4, 2009 file photo, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir attends a graduation ceremony at an air force academy near Khartoum, Sudan. Former Liberian President Charles Taylor is part of a long parade of leaders guilty or accused of similar, and in some cases far more appalling, crimes in modern history. Here is what happened to some: Omar al-Bashir: the ICC accused the Sudanese president of orchestrating genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur and issued an arrest warrant for him. However, he remains free in Sudan, which is locked in hostilities with South Sudan. The U.N. estimates 300,000 people died and 2.7 million were displaced in the Darfur conflict.

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) ? Sudan's army spokesman says that three foreigners and a South Sudanese national arrested by authorities in a disputed area on the Sudanese-South Sudanese border had military hardware and an armored vehicle in their possession.
Col. Sawarmi Khalid Saad also said on state television late Saturday that the four ? a Briton, Norwegian, South African and South Sudanese ? had military backgrounds. The four were arrested in the oil-rich region of Heglig, captured by South Sudanese troops earlier this month. Sudan later said it took the region back.
Saad said the four were carrying out military activities in Heglig, but did not elaborate. Their arrest, he added, supported claims by the Khartoum government that South Sudan used "foreigners" when it captured Heglig.
