Bosnian police keep watch for Karadzic

Police and spies have practically taken over the house of Bosnia’s most wanted war crimes fugitive Radovan Karadzic, anxious to see whether he returns home for the funeral of his mother, a Sarajevo daily newspaper reported today.

Jovanka Karadzic, 83, died on Thursday after a short illness in a hospital in the northwestern town of Niksic in neighbouring Serbia-Montenegro and the paper said her funeral could be an opportunity to arrest the Bosnian Serb wartime leader.
