Karadzic alleges US death threats - July 31, 2008 - Radovan Karadzic told a United Nations war crimes tribunal on Thursday he had been in hiding for most of the past 13 years owing to US death threats.

The former Bosnian Serb leader first claimed that Richard Holbrooke, the US peace envoy for Bosnia, had attempted to arrange for the indictment to be withdrawn in a deal that would involve Mr Karadzic disappearing from public life. Then he appeared to imply US officials had later threatened to kill him.

When the judge interrupted Mr Karadzic insisted his life remained in danger.

“If Mr Holbrooke still wants my death and regrets, there is no death sentence at this court, I want to know if his arm is long enough to reach me here,” he said.

Ah, but you didn't mention this Karadzic quote in that article:

“I am not questioning the court,” Mr Karadzic, 63, said. “I want to show why I am appearing now and not in 1996, or 1997, or 1998 when I had the intention of appearing here but . . .my life was in danger of being liquidated because I had made a deal.”
