Ex-Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic extradited

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
The Serb war crimes prosecutor's office says ex-Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic is being extradited to the UN war crimes tribunal. Four jeeps with tinted windows are seen leaving the downtown Belgrade war crimes court at about 3:45 a.m. early Wednesday where Karadzic was being held since his arrest July 21. An official of the prosecution office, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak to the media, confirms to The Associated Press that Karadzic was in one of those jeeps on his way to Belgrade airport from where he will be flown to the UN court in the Netherlands. Officials say the war crimes suspect was captured July 21 in Belgrade, where he lived under the assumed identity of a health guru, with long white beard and hair, and large glasses. Karadzic faces 11 charges at the UN tribunal in The Hague, including genocide and conspiracy to commit genocide.
