AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Prosecutors have enough evidence to send two Congolese warlords accused of war crimes to trial but not on all charges, the International Criminal Court (ICC) said on Friday.
The ICC said in a statement there was evidence to prosecute Germain Katanga and Mathieu Ngudjolo for war crimes of attacking civilians, sexual slavery, and rape committed through other persons, and using child soldiers.
The court said there was not enough evidence to try them on other charges of crimes against humanity.
The trial chamber must now set a date for the start of the trial, but it is unlikely it will start this year, said Sonia Robla, head of public information and documentation at the ICC.
The two allied militia leaders are accused of directing an attack in 2003 on the village of Bogoro in the north eastern Congolese district of Ituri, an area long riven by conflict over its rich natural resources including gold, diamonds and oil.
Prosecutors said in June there was evidence that more than 200 children, women, elderly and civilian men were killed in an attack during which women were sexually enslaved in camps and repeatedly raped


4 ballot, which would place a ban on gay marriage in the state Constitution.
To the initiative's backers, nothing less weighty than religious liberty and even the building blocks of society are at stake. To its opponents, the California Marriage Protection Amendment tests nothing more cherished than the American ideals of equality and personal freedom.
All of it is riding on whether voters in the nation's most populous state accept or reject 14 words: 'Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.'
Proposition 8 is one of three proposed gay marriage bans appearing on ballots around the country this November. It would amend the state Constitution to overturn the California Supreme Court decision earlier this year that legalized same-sex unions.
It will be the first time a marriage amendment goes before voters in a place where same-sex couples - thousands of them since the court's ruling took effect in mid-June - have legally wed.
'There is a sense that this is a potential tipping-point election,' said Jon Matsusaka, president of the Initiative and Referendum Institute at the University of Southern California. 'If voters here accept the concept of same-sex marriage, that will have an effect on the way people think across the country.'
By Election Day, the measure's opponents and supporters expect to spend about $40 million - a large amount for a social issue initiative, according to Matsusaka
