A Congolese militia leader has become the second person convicted by the International Criminal Court since it was set up in The Hague 12 years ago. Germain Katanga was found guilty of being an accessory to murder and pillage over a 2003 attack on a village in northeast Democratic Republic of Congo. 200 civilians were killed in the attack. He was cleared of a number of other charges, including rape and sexual slavery and the use of child soldiers. His co-accused, Mathieu Ngu-jolo Chui, was acquitted more than a year ago. Al Jazeera's Neave Barker reports from The Hague.
