The International Criminal Court (ICC) has found a former rebel leader Bosco Ntaganda guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Ntaganda surrendered at the US embassy in Dr Congo in 2013.
He becomes the fourth person convicted by the ICCÂ since its creation in 2002.
