Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic, one of the world's most wanted men, has been arrested 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 was subsequently 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."

Bloody hell...

Busted!

I couldn't imagine he would be that difficult to find. Look for the hair (eyebrows included).

He's finally going to get what he deserves.

I'm pretty sure they were able to find him because he was finally done shooting the Watchmen. His part was the Owl, of course.

Maybe the Russians try to drag him free to Moscow, which seems to be the regular policy for violent and criminal fellow Slavs that committed atrocities outside their own cultural sphere....

Radovan se už neraduje, I guess

I hope this one survives to the end of the trial.

I think they might have actually caught Santa instead

According to Finnish tabloid Ilta-Sanomat thats him.

bolding mine

difficult? Someone can be easy to find, and still you can't find him. That's called 'not wanting to find him'!

And I second Rik: Finally!

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Strange.
I didin't believe they'll ever catch. I always thought they don't even try

"U no catch hood, U no join EU!"


That's what's called a big incentive

 

[J-man]

Finally! They got him. He used a good disguise. Now allwe need is Mladic, I hope it doesn't take long. He is the last big fish.

 

[RedRalph]

He was practising alternative medicide in Belgrade apparently... mind-boggling... and reinforces my hatred of alternative medicine. He looks like Father Ted

I'm not only talking about the Serbian government. Rumor has it he could have been caught many times by the Un forces in Bosnia but no one really cared.

Really?

Well, UN missions in that part of the world have always been a bit of a joke - a bad one on the local people I must say.

 

[holy king]

apparently he was arrested just 4 days after the serbian intelligence agency got a new head. (Sasa Vukadinovic)
his predecessor (Rade Bulatovic) had allready been head of the agency under milosevic.

 

[Rossiya]

A piece of good news.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

You're next, Mladić.

Are you from Germany?

You seem to be lacking a sense of humor.

 

[smoochy]

this is how he looks now
