A United Nations-backed court in The Hague has convicted former Liberian president Charles Taylor of war crimes.
The 64-year-old was found guilty of “aiding and abetting” rebel fighters who waged an 11-year civil war in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
Taylor is the first head of state convicted by an international court since the post-World War II Nuremberg trials. He is likely to be sentenced by the end of May and will serve his prison term in Britain.
