Bashir war crimes charges delayed
Judges at the International Criminal Court are asking for more evidence before deciding whether to issue an arrest warrant against Sudan's leader.
Chief prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo has asked the court to issue the warrant for President Omar al-Bashir over war crimes allegedly committed in Darfur.
Mr Ocampo has been given a month to provide the additional evidence.
President Bashir has denied the charges and Sudan has been lobbying to get the investigation delayed.
The African Union and Arab League agree with Sudan that any arrest warrant could jeopardise the peace process in Darfur.
The UN estimates that 2.7 million people have been forced from their homes and an estimated 300,000 have died during the five-year conflict in Sudan's western Darfur region.
Sudan's government has always denied charges that it armed the Janjaweed militias accused of widespread atrocities against civilians in Darfur.
