Peacekeepers call off patrol hunt for Karadzic

Nato peacekeepers have ended two days of patrols around the home of Radovan Karadzic’s daughter, suspected of helping the United Nations war crimes tribunal’s top fugitive evade justice.

US, French and Italian peacekeepers arrived in Pale, a town 10 miles north east of Sarajevo that served as Karadzic’s wartime headquarters, on Tuesday morning. The operation aimed to disrupt the efforts of people impeding the progress and development of the country as outlined in the 1995 Dayton peace agreement, the peacekeeping force said in a statement.
