They caught the bastard, and he will now stand trial for war crimes. Radovan Karadzic, former Bosnian Serb leader, was one of the most wanted men in the world until he was caught early this week. Accused of genocide and other major crimes against humanity, Karadzic was passing as a doctor (see before and after photos, right). The arrest was a neat police operation, and European governments are all very happy about it. This is a drama that few Americans were aware of, but is gripping to nearly all Europeans. From Der Spiegel today:
Radovan Karadzic, 63, president of the Republika Srpska in Bosnia from 1992 to 1996, looked emaciated when he was arrested in Belgrade on Monday night, according to the Serb authorities. He was interviewed by an investigating judge until 2.30 a.m. on Tuesday morning [German time].... The arrest has also given much-needed impetus to the war crimes tribunal in The Hague. FULL STORY...
