The news of Radovan Karadzic of serbia keeps getting better and better as details start to emerge. Karadzic thought sporting a long white beard and calling himself Dragan Dabic will buy him life without facing his crime victims, well it worked for a decade but not any more.

Captured war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic was living in Serbia's capital Belgrade and practising alternative medicine, Serb officials say.

He was sporting a long white beard and calling himself Dragan Dabic, said Serbian minister Rasim Ljajic.

After meeting Mr Jeremic in Brussels, EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn said the arrest moved Serbia closer to EU candidate status.
Mr Karadzic has denied the charges against him and refused to recognise the legitimacy of the UN tribunal.
After the accord that ended the Bosnian war was signed in late 1995 in Dayton, in the US state of Ohio, 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.
He was a close ally of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who was himself extradited to The Hague tribunal in 2001, but died in 2006, shortly before a verdict was due to be delivered in his case.
