Captured Ugandan LRA leader to be sent to ICC

                                                         LRA commander Dominic Ongwen says he was abducted by the rebels when he was 10 years old

A senior commander in the Ugandan militia group the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is to be sent to the International Criminal Court for trial, a Ugandan army spokesman says.

Dominic Ongwen, considered by some to be a deputy to LRA chief Joseph Kony, was taken into US custody last week.
Rebels in the Central African Republic (CAR) said he was captured; US officials say he defected.
The LRA has abducted thousands of children for fighting and sex slavery.
Both Mr Ongwen and warlord Joseph Kony are wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity.
Paddy Ankuda from the Ugandan army told Reuters that the transfer would be made by the CAR, where Mr Ongwen - also known as the White Ant - had surrendered.
