Nov 8 (Reuters) - Sudan's army has detained a former senior Islamist official from ousted strongman Omar al-Bashir's era who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, officials from his party said. Ahmed Haroun, who chairs Sudan's former ruling National Congress Party, has been hiding for years and is wanted by the International Criminal Court over alleged war crimes and genocide in the Darfur region in the early 2000s. He has dismissed the charges as political.
