Belgian Prosecutor May Send Franks Case to U.S.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A Brussels prosecutor will probably pass a war crimes
lawsuit against General Tommy Franks, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, on
to the United States, a judicial official said on Friday.
An official decision on the case -- filed under Belgium's controversial law
enabling its courts to try foreigners for human rights abuses -- is expected
next week.
"The option we prefer is to send the case to the international tribunal
(International Criminal Court) in The Hague but the Americans don't accept
its jurisdiction," said Lieve Pellens, spokeswoman for the federal
prosecutor's office.
"The judicial system in Iraq is excluded right now, so an American court
seems to be the best option," she told Reuters.
U.S. embassy officials declined to comment.
A legal decision to pass the suit on to the United States would help heal
Belgium's relations with Washington, damaged by Belgium's opposition to the
U.S.-led war in Iraq and its obstruction of NATO's pre-war efforts to boost
Turkish defenses.
"The law is clear: if the country of the perpetrator has a legal system that
offers a guarantee to handle the complaint properly then we can forward the
file," Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt was quoted as saying in Het Nieuwsblad
newspaper.
"You can hardly claim that the U.S. does not have a balanced judicial
system," he added.
A group of 19 Iraqis filed the complaint against Franks and a U.S. Marine
colonel on Wednesday, over the use of cluster bombs and alleged U.S. attacks
on ambulances and civilians.
Belgium's law has prompted a flood of cases against figures like Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and was recently revamped in an attempt to
deter what critics say are politically motivated cases.
Pellens said a welter of similar lawsuits, against figures including
Secretary of State Colin Powell and former U.S. President George Bush, had
clogged up the judiciary.
"We notice that some of our best investigating magistrates do only these
cases and nothing else. It's using up a lot of our capacities," she added.
