Serbia seizes war crimes fugitive Karadzic

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, the alleged architect of war crimes including Europe’s worst massacre since the Second World War, was in custody today after more than a decade on the run.

Karadzic, 63, accused of organising the deadly siege of Sarajevo and the 1995 massacre of up to 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica, was captured on Friday morning while on a bus then held for three days, his lawyer claimed.
