Two Sudan rebel leaders have appeared at the International Criminal Court to face war crimes charges over an attack on peacekeepers in Darfur. <br/><br/>Abdallah Banda Abakaer Nourain and Saleh Mohammed Jerbo Jamus surrendered to The Hague on Wednesday after being secretly indicted last year. Twelve African Union peacekeepers died in the 2007 attack in Haskanita. <br/><br/>The men called for other ICC indictees, such as Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir, to hand themselves over. Last year, the court issued an arrest warrant for President Bashir, accusing him of war crimes in Darfur. <br/><br/>A Sudanese government minister and pro-government militia leader have also been indicted. The next hearing in the case against the two rebel leaders was set for November.
