Legija seeks a deal | 18:18 | Beta

BELGRADE, THE HAGUE -- Monday – The man believed to be behind the Djindjic assassination has sought protection from the Hague Tribunal in exchange for supplying information on Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, Beta reports, quoting anonymous diplomatic sources.

Milorad “Legija” Lukovic, the former commander of the now-disbanded police Special Operations Unit, is being actively sought by Serbian police in connection with the murder of the Serbian prime minister.

Beta’s sources say that Legija, who is known to have close ties with Karadzic and Mladic, has offered to provide information on the whereabouts of The Hague’s two most wanted suspects, in exchange for protection and a new identity.

Hague Prosecution press officer Florence Hartmann declined to comment on the reports, saying that the issue was too sensitive.

Well, isn't this just the most interesting piece of unsubstantiated news?

Gee, I wonder who was saying all along that the odds-on bet for the hit would be that pro-Milosovic Serb nationalists probably did it due to Zolan keeping quiet about the French/UN double-standard...

The Red Beret's and/or mafia didn't knock anyone off to save Milosovich 4 years ago, so claiming that they would do so now, years later, to save even lower-level players stretches credulity.

I remember quite well what you were saying, thanks.

See post #55.

You still don't get it, and that fact is probably deliberate. You seem more and more to be a pro-French troll.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the assassin has started talking, and B92 is reporting today, amongst other things:

Jovanovic’s statement confirms suspicions that fugitive gangster Milorad “Legija” Lukovic ordered the execution, assuring Jovanovic that it was necessary in order to prevent the disbanding of the Special Operations Unit and the subsequent transferral of all members to The Hague.

Mais je suis seulment un acteur dans le grande arrangement Francaise, non?

Gotta love that High School French.

Although both you and the French press would love to pin this political assassination on a non-political "gangster", it's worth pointing out that the Special Operations Unit in question is a government organization, hardly something that a mere "criminal" would be concerned about seeing get disbanded.

Thus, once again your spin fails. It still remains clear that the assassination was politically motivated, not criminally motivated, and that it had more to do with the French/German double-standard on going to war without the UN than about anything else.

All of the suspects in Djindjic's assassination were or are members of the JSO.

It still remains clear that the assassination was politically motivated, not criminally motivated, and that it had more to do with the French/German double-standard on going to war without the UN than about anything else.

The only thing clear here is that you're impervious to real world facts and seem determined to persist in espousing a theory that is devoid of any supporting evidence.

How do you function in society?

Well, for one thing, I get my daily entertainment from smashing trolls who run around posting ridiculous propaganda; and very few have lived up to your ability to spin so tirelessly for the French by posting such rubbish as your wild-eyed claims that non-political "gangsters" made a hit on a leading *politician* in order to save a government unit.

I've been "smashed", huh?

Outstanding work then. I take my chapeau off to you, sport.

Please ignore (wild-eyed rubbish, don't you know).

It's difficult to top the comedic value of your wild-eyed claims that non-political "gangsters" made a hit on a leading *politician* in order to save a government unit, but who knows, you might one day manage it.

A paramilitary commander suspected to have killed Zoran Djindjic on March 12 admitted he did it because he was told his unit would be handed over to the U.N. war crimes tribunal, the sources told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Joke source

Ha ha.

Serbian Minister of Interior Dusan Mihajlovic told a press conference that Dusan Spasojevic, aka 'Siptar' and Milorad Lukovic, aka 'Legija' made a decision to assassinate the Prime Minister as part of a plot called "Stop The Hague". source

Oh my.
