Karadzic bound for tribunal in the Hague

Captured war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic, one of the world's most wanted men, was arrested on Monday while practising medicine under a false name in Belgrade.Karadzic, the wartime Bosnian Serb leader who had managed to remain at large for 13 years, was working in a medical clinic with only beard ... conceal his identity.International Criminal Tribunal officials say he was making money by working and performing alternative medicine.Karadzic had last been seen in public in the eastern Bosnian town of Han Pijesak in July 1996, and was previously thought to have hidden away in Serb-controlled parts of Bosnia, Montenegro and Serbia, or even Russia.Karadzic will now be sent to The Hague for trial on orchestrating two of Europe's worst atrocities since World War II, the siege of Sarajevo and the Srebrenica massacre.Two more fugitives from the massacres are still at large.They are former military commander Ratko Mladic, 65, and Goran Hadzic, 49, a former Serb politician wanted for "ethnic cleansing" in Croatia.The handover of the war crimes fugitives is a major pre-condition for Serbian accession to the European Union.Karadzic's arrest took place two weeks after the formation of a new pro-EU membership government dominated by President Boris Tadic's pro-Western Democratic Party.It also came only four days after Sasa Vukadinovic, close to the Democrats, became the head of Serbia's police intelligence agency, replacing an official aligned with former hardline nationalist prime minister Vojislav Kostunica.Karadzic bound for tribunal in the Hague
