The Hague Prosecution has unsealed war crimes charges against the former foreign minister of Bosnia & Herzegovina (BiH), Haris Silajdzic.
Silajdzic is charged with murders, persecution of non-Bosnian population and setting up death camps, where Croatian and Serbian civilians and prisoners of war were tortured and abused, Mostar weekly "Danas" reports. Silajdzic is also charged with involvement in infiltration of Mujaheedin in the Bosnian Army, authorized by Bosnian authorities.
The indictment was worked out on basis of submitted documentation from Croatian and Serbian BiH Office for Cooperation with the Tribunal in the past few years
My, my. The American Mr. Silajdzic should have stayed home rather than going back to the 'Old Country' it seems.
I recall (being a member of the US staff at the Dayton Peace talks), about a minor 'incident' he caused when he tried to smuggle his blonde German girlfriend into the Peace Complex - without her having the required badge. He was hiding her in his car - but out security was pretty thorough.
*chuckle*
Back in 1993, he and I stood side by side after his lecture in the backroom. AT the time, my knowledge of the situation was very limited so I didnt engage him wih any questions. General McKenzie easily refuted all his accusations and claims.
