...sign that justice can be served, its reach has so far proved limited. The tribunal, which has no police powers, has managed the arrest of only eight of 74 suspected Bosnian war criminals. Key figures such as former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and army General Ratko Mladic, both indicted for genocide, still manage to elude arrest from safe havens in Serbia. Without them, the peace in Bosnia remains far from complete...
...symbols of American power and glory. She most recently wore both when she met Russian President Boris Yeltsin in Moscow in February. The goat is the gift of an admiral at Annapolis, who sent it to her after he read accounts that the brutal Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladic had apparently named one of his goats after the then U.N. ambassador. In 1994, when reports circulated in the Iraqi press calling Albright a serpent, she decided to wear the snake pin--in lieu of a name tag--when meeting with Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz. Albright says the bumblebee...
Karadzic is still protected in the Serb half of Bosnia. But he is also an international fugitive from justice, twice indicted for genocide and crimes against humanity. A year after Bosnian Serb forces commanded by Karadzic and his military chief, Ratko Mladic, seized the U.N.-declared safe area of Srebrenica and slaughtered thousands of Muslims, both soldiers and civilians, the corpses are finally being exhumed. Hundreds have been dug up, many with their wrists wired together, their bones shattered by bullets. An indictment by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in the Hague says Karadzic's crimes...

No one was injured in the two incidents, but they mark the heightening tensions in the Serb-controlled area of Han Pijesak, headquarters of Bosnian Serb commander General Ratko Mladic, who was indicted for genocide by the Bosnia war crimes tribunal. The Portuguese soldiers were heading east of Sarajevo to deliver food supplies when several shots were fired from nearby woods, hitting the last vehicle in the convoy. When the Portuguese soldiers fired back, three men ran from the woods...
...still pulling the strings, Clinton would find it increasingly difficult to explain his fear of using the 60,000 NATO troops on the ground to remove him. By the end of the week, in fact, NATO said its forces in Bosnia would be redeployed to limit Karadzic's and Mladic's movements--and therefore their ability to wield power. With his own election to think of, perhaps Clinton will finally push for the arrest of Europe's most-wanted war criminal...
