AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Judges at the International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for three suspects, including two Russian nationals, dating from the 2008 conflict in Georgia.

Prosecutors had demonstrated "reasonable grounds to believe that each of these three suspects bears responsibility for war crimes," the three judges said in a statement.
