...Experts will examine the Kursk in dry dock at Roslyakovo, near Murmansk, to establish how the submarine foundered. Officials are taking no chances that radiation from the sub?s two 190-megawatt nuclear reactors will leak out or that its 22 Granit cruise missiles will accidentally detonate. Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic for crimes during the war in Croatia.

...NETHERLANDS Genocide Charge Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic made a second defiant appearance before the U.N. war crimes tribunal as chief prosecutor Carla Del Ponte said charges against him would include genocide. Milosevic currently faces four charges of crimes against humanity arising from the Kosovo conflict in 1999.

But their leaders insist they got most of what they wanted out of the Skopje political agreement, and the time has come to put down their weapons. And those leaders have plenty of reasons to crow about the outcome. Three months ago, NATO leaders were still denouncing the NLA as "terrorists" and "murderers in the hills"; now fresh...
...does. One spirit haunts Foca and other towns and villages in eastern Bosnia's autonomous Serb Republic: that of Dr. Radovan Karadzic. Following the transfer in June of Slobodan Milosevic to the Hague, Karadzic, the Bosnian-Serb leader during the war, is the U.N. war-crime tribunal's most-wanted man. Reports have placed him in these remote, cloud-draped mountains or just across the border in Montenegro. In Foca, he does not lack support. "I am in love with him," says a woman in her 50s who refuses to give her real name. "If he is arrested, we will...
