NATO arrests Bosnian-Serb colonel

NATO troops have captured a Bosnian-Serb army colonel who commanded a unit in Srebrenica during the murder of at least 8,000 Muslims in 1995.

Colonel Vidoje Blagojevic was arrested on foot of an indictment from the UN War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague relating to the Srebrenica massacre.

The NATO troops used rubber bullets to smash the window of the colonel's car as he arrived at a meeting in Banja Luka today.

The soldiers pulled Bragojevic from the car and then sped from the scene.
