Radovan Karadzic was arrested for war crimes by the Serbian security forces Monday after eluding his pursuers for over 10 years. He is being incarcerated in Belgrade today to face the War Crimes Court on several charges including genocide.
Karadzic, as leader of the Bosnian Serbs during the 1991-95 war, is to be prosecuted for a 1995 incident in which 8,000 men and boys were slaughtered in the town of Srebrenica. More criminal charges are to be brought against him for extermination, persecution, and inhumane acts, among others.
Stojan Zupljanin, head of the Bosnian police at the time, was arrested last month for similar crimes. General Mladic, another indicted criminal, is still being sought by authorities.

Caoimhin1, I like this story. This is a great day for justice over the attrocious things that occurred in Srebrenica! And its not just any old war crimes suspect (he certainly carried it all out: no question about it): it's Karadizc the nasty one. Trained as a psycho-therapist, can you believe it! He didnt need to train as a psycho-path: he already was one. Gerry
