Bosnian hunt for Karadzic scaled back

Nato led peacekeepers scaled back their search for Bosnian war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic today after an intense three day hunt for the fugitive leader turned up documents the alliance is examining for clues to his whereabouts.

Dozens of peacekeepers and police officers remained at checkpoints in Karadzic’s one-time stronghold of Pale, days after troops acted on a tip that he was hiding there and possibly in need of medical care.
