(CNN) -- Milan Babic, the leader of rebel Serbs in Croatia and one-time president of the Croatian Serbs in the 1990s, has committed suicide in his cell at a U.N. detention facility where he was serving a 13-year term for war crimes, officials said.

Babic was found dead in his cell at the prison in Scheveningen, a suburb of The Hague, at about 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, according to a statement from the U.N. war crimes tribunal.

That'll free up some court time.

Beat me to the post!

If this had happened at Gitmo there would be world protests!

kind regards

Sounds like he'd already been convicted.

Hmmm Suicide: Hanged himself? Choked himself? Shot Himself?

Doesnt say does it? If they held an investigation they must have an asnwer, why isnt it in the article.

I believe one day we will read that Slobodan Milosovic committed suicide as the trial goes on in its 6th year and they can get no closer to a verdict in their kangaroo court.

Thanks again Mr. Bush . Refusing the ICC was one good move you made.

i thought that was odd too! if someone offed themselves at Gitmo you can bet we would get ALL the gory details.

Maybe. I might have been a little quick to the post.

He is not only victim of that illegal “court”. Dr. Milan Kovacevic was killed in Hague. ”The medical officer on duty has informed the Tribunal that the death was due to natural causes, presumably a massive heart attack.”
Slavko Dokmanovic, allegedly committed suicide while in detention. And list goes on.
Sometimes they don’t bother – they simply kill Serb women and children:
Two days before, in semi-occupied Bosnia, soldiers of the EU military mission raided the family home of Dragomir Abazovic, killing his wife and critically injuring his 11-year-old son.
Sometimes they vandalize Church property and beat to death Serb priest.
Do you support those killings and acts of terror too?

Do you support those killings and acts of terror too?

i don't see ANYONE supporting it ANYWHERE!

[sgtbono2002]

I am merely suspiscious of the way he died. I dont support killing or terror.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[Joey Silvera]

You know he did it, joining the erstwhile ranks of Hitler, Goebbels, Goering et al. Great PR for his people.

I don't know how I managed to forget BOTH of Slobodan's parents but I'm glad I remembered

He slipped in the shower cleaning his gun and shot himself in the back of the head three times.
