...three-year-old Hague tribunal is hampered by a shortage of funds and staff. Watertight legal cases are difficult to construct, and no one has uncovered the kind of paperwork that helped convict Nazi offenders at Nuremberg. Most of the suspects remain safe from arrest at home, and NATO's Implementation Force in Bosnia is resolute against mission creep that might ask its soldiers to hunt them down. "Oh, we hope for justice," says Alija Dedajic, a survivor of Sarajevo, "but we do not believe...
These behind-the-scenes apparatchiks may be the most guilty and have the best evidence of Milosevic's personal culpability. Yet the tribunal is unlikely ever to get them to court unless one sells the others out. "The witnesses who could really convict Milosevic still work for him," says a human-rights analyst.

"Most legal analysts say that the government has enough evidence from the other cases to convict him already," Kunii says. "Asahara is waiting to enter a plea until he sees what happens in those trials...
...they defused it. Its structural peculiarities, experts said, were exactly those of the Unabomber bombs. The searchers also discovered a piece of paper with the words "hit list" written above "airline industry," "computer industry" and "geneticists." Evidence from the cabin was so strong, federal officials said, that it might convict Kaczynski without having to match his whereabouts with the bomber's at the time of the crimes...
