'Gaddafi arrest warrant to be issued soon'
International Criminal Court warrant expected by end of month, making exile impossible, Italian foreign minister says.
The International Criminal Court will likely issue an arrest warrant for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi by the end of the month, Italy's foreign minister said.
The warrant would be a "key moment" in the battle against Gaddafi and would make it impossible for him to escape into exile, foreign minister Franco Frattini said on Thursday.
"From that moment on, an exit from power or from the country will no longer be imaginable," he said.
A spokeswoman for the office of ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo told Al Jazeera that it was surprised by Frattini's statement. Ocampo submitted a report to ICC judges on May 4 requesting an arrest warrant but is waiting for the court to either approve the warrant or request more information, the spokeswoman said.

The European Union plans to open an office in the rebel-held Libyan city of Benghazi to facilitate assistance to the rebel council based there, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said.
"I intend to open an office in Benghazi so that we can move forward on the support we've discussed to the people... to support civil society, to support the Interim Transitional National Council."

I see a massive run to 102, then NATO will announce they believe Gaddafi is dead and the market will tank to 97 again YW
