...Serbian Interior Ministry denies a connection, at least four other wanted men have been killed, including RADOVAN STOJICIC BADZA, the militia commander who became the Serbian Deputy Minister of the Interior and was gunned down last year in a pizzeria.

...waits for takeoff, Holbrooke accepts that this mission has at best bought some more time before war breaks out. His words betray a weary resignation: "There's no dishonor in trying and failing to prevent a war."
