...received a letter recently accusing him of "treason" and promising him "a bullet in the forehead." Authorities are taking the threat seriously: Zoran Djindjic, the reformist Serbian Prime Minister who helped topple Milosevic, was assassinated in March 2003.

...boss. Nice also interviewed Mihalj Kertes, former chief of the powerful customs service, and the notorious Franko "Frenki" Simatovic, the commander of the feared Red Berets, a police unit accused of spearheading ethnic cleansing from Croatia to Kosovo. Three men indicted with Milosevic - ex-Defense Minister Dragoljub Ojdanic, Serbia's former Interior Minister Vlajko Stojiljkovic and top adviser Nikola Sainovic - were also asked last week to give themselves up to the Hague. They too would have stories to tell...
