Karadzic protected by US until he broke 'deal': Belgrade report


Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic was protected by the United States until a CIA phone bug caught him breaking the terms of his 'deal', Serb newspaper Blic reported Saturday, quoting a US intelligence source.

Partly echoing what Karadzic himself told the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in his opening written submission, the paper claims Karadzic was secretly granted immunity in return for keeping a low profile.

"Karadzic, indicted for genocide and war crimes, was under the US protection until 2000, when the CIA intercepted his telephone conversation that clearly proved he personally chaired a meeting of his old political party," the daily quoted a "well-informed US intelligence source" as saying.

In a submission to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Karadzic said the US peace negotiator in Bosnia, Richard Holbrooke, had promised he would avoid trial if he withdrew from public life.

All we are missing is the ending from the movie, 'The Hunting Party', where Richard Gere's character catches him and drops him off in a town where he had overseen the rape and murder of men, women, and children, to let them dispense whatever justice they saw fit.
Otherwise the story of US protection, etc. runs parallel to the film.

Of course we do not wish to see mob rule, but I would like to see this animal locked up, in a cold, dark cell, for the rest of his miserable life.

Agreed. I would like to see my Bosnian friend's family move on after the death of their elders son (my friend's brother). 2 out of 3..... and still looking.

No, not surprise at all. It is almost expected that they would have their grubby hands in it.
