Kenya president's trial postponed to October

The International Criminal Court has again postponed the trial of
Uhuru Kenyatta, Kenya's president, on charges that he orchestrated
violence following the country's 2007 election.


The court on Monday rescheduled the start of the trial to October 7,
saying the delay would give the Kenyan government more time to produce
evidence requested by prosecutors.




"The purpose of the adjournment is to provide the government of Kenya
with a further, time-limited opportunity to provide certain records,
which the prosecution had previously requested," the court said in a
statement.


Prosecutors accuse Kenyatta of having a hand in the wave of deadly
violence that followed the 2007 elections, in which 1,200 people died.
