Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir - wanted on genocide charges - arrives in Libya for an official visit.<br/> He is here to meet with Mustafa Abdul Jalil, the head of Libya's transitional government.<br/> The trip has drawn criticism from Western observers because Bashir is wanted by the International Criminal Court for allegedly orchestrating a genocide in Darfur.<br/> Human Rights Watch called the visit "disturbing" and said it raised questions about Libya's commitment to the rule of law.<br/> The ties between Libya and Sudan - strained under former leader Muammar Gaddafi - have improved dramatically in recent months.<br/> Abudul Jalil has said arms shipments from Sudan helped Libya's former rebels oust Gaddafi last year.<br/> Andrew Raven, Reuters
