Serbia captures fugitive Karadzic

[Cpl K]

Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic, one of the world's most wanted men, has been arrested tonight in Serbia after more than a decade.



He has been brought before Belgrade's war crimes court, in accordance with a law on cooperation the Hague Tribunal, the Serbian presidency said.

The Bosnian Serb wartime political leader disappeared in 1996.

He had been indicted by the UN tribunal for war crimes and genocide over the 1995 massacre at Srebrenica.

His wartime military leader, Ratko Mladic, remains at large.

"Radovan Karadzic was located and arrested tonight" by Serbian security officers, a statement by the office of President Boris Tadic said, without giving details.

"Karadzic was brought to the investigative judge of the War Crimes Court in Belgrade, in accordance with the law on cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia."

Karadzic denial

Mr Karadzic denied the charges against him soon after the first indictment and refused to recognise the legitimacy of the UN tribunal.

The UN says Mr Karadzic's forces killed at least 7,500 Muslim men and boys from Srebrenica in July 1995 as part of a campaign to "terrorise and demoralise the Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat population".

He was also charged over the shelling of Sarajevo, and the use of 284 UN peacekeepers as human shields in May and June 1995.

After the Dayton accord that ended the Bosnian war, the former nationalist president went into hiding.

International pressure to catch Mr Karadzic mounted in spring 2005 when several of his former generals surrendered and a video of Bosnian Serb soldiers shooting captives from Srebrenica shocked television viewers in former Yugoslavia.

Will he be brought in Haag? Living in a former country the newspaper was full of him every day. He will probably sit for the rest of his life. The police and UN attempted a lot of times to catch him with the help of listening devices and informants but it seemed he exited the house at the back door every time. First reports of his hiding were that he hides abroad (Russia; Romania; Caribbean islands), family house, later the circle was probably narrowing and reports showed he is in a remote village in Serbia (sometimes even BIH). I bet he was hiding in a remote house full of humidity and plants all over outside walls.

...He was arrested on boarding public transportation in Belgrade...someone will be assassinated for this 'unpatriotic' arrest....Zoran Gingic, the Serb PM who arrested and extradited Slobadan Milosovic, was killed by a sniper....go figure the rest...[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
