DRC's 'Terminator' tells ICC he protected civilians

Former Democratic Republic of Congo rebel leader Bosco Ntaganda has told the International Criminal Court that he is not an "infamous killer", but a soldier who protected civilians.


This is the first time Gen Ntaganda, nicknamed "The Terminator", has spoken since he surrendered in 2013.
The prosecution alleged at the opening of his trial on Wednesday that his troops murdered and raped civilians.


He denied all 18 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
