Key Milosevic trial witness arrested in Spain

Spanish police arrested a suspected Serb hit-man wanted in the murder of a Kosovo Albanian human rights activist believed to have had evidence implicating Slobodan Milosevic in dozens of murders, authorities said today.

Police say the arrest of Veselin Vukotic, a master of disguise who confounded authorities in Europe and Latin America for 16 years, could reveal key evidence in the trial against the former Yugoslav president at the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.
