A Bosnian-Croat war chief has died after downing poison during his war crimes trial at The Hague, Croatian state TV reports. Slobodan Praljak yelled, 'I am not a war criminal!' and drank a dark liquid from a small bottle seconds after losing his appeal against a 20-year prison sentence at the International Criminal Tribunal, in the Netherlands. 'I just drank poison,' he added. 'I am not a war criminal. I oppose this conviction.' Praljak, 72, is one of six Croatian politicians sentenced to jail for their involvement in a campaign to drive Muslims out of a would-be Bosnian Croat mini-state in Bosnia in the early 1990s.

Except Goering was a Muslim ally. This guy was fighting against the Muslim enemy.

I thought it was some American GI prison guard who Goring sweet talked.

I think he had a cyanide capsule secreted in a fake removable tooth.

From Wiki:

In 2005, former U.S. Army Private Herbert Lee Stivers, who served in the 1st Infantry Division’s 26th Infantry Regiment—the honour guard for the Nuremberg Trials—claimed he gave Göring “medicine” hidden inside a fountain pen that a German woman had asked him to smuggle into the prison. Stivers later said that he did not know what was in the pill until after Göring’s suicide.

Until today, I had remembered this:

Ben Swearingen speculated that Lieut Jack Wheelis, who accepted a watch from Göring, allowed the Nazi to retrieve the phial from luggage kept in a prison storeroom.

Locking up a few of these guys from the Yugoslav civil war was the price for EU membership.

During that war my BIL was a Commander in the Navy reserves stationed in the ops center in Stuttgart. Slobodan Milosevich used to get drunk and call up there late at night saying the same kind of stuff and trying to negotiate. My BIL said usually that time of night they had a Corporal on duty answering the phones. :-)

Praljak was involved in a campaign to drive Muslims out of his homeland. What's the problem? The guy is a hero.

It's no wonder that he was being tried by Eurabian Muslimphile collaborators and technocrats in Vichy the Hague.

I don’t consider him a war criminal. The Bosnians were sick of the muzzies raping their women, burning their homes and businesses, and their general terror.

The Bosnians defend themselves and then they’re labeled the bad guys. Sort of like the Crusaders when they went to defending themselves against muzzie terror.
