Serbia arrests war crime suspect Darko Jankovic
Jan 4, 2010, 8:00 GMT
Belgrade - Belgrade authorities have arrested a Serb suspected of committing atrocities against Muslims during the Bosnian war, local media reported Monday.
The man, Darko Jankovic, has been linked to crimes in the area of Zvornik, in eastern Bosnia, reports said, quoting the Serbian war crime prosecutor's spokesman, Bruno Vekaric.
Zvornik, on Bosnia's border with Serbia, was the scene of killings, torture and deportation of Muslims early in the 1992-95 war.
Jankovic has been implicated in crimes for which three men were already handed long-term prison sentences in 2008, with four others still on trial.
Serbia has yet to locate and arrest Ratko Mladic and Goran Hadzic, the two remaining fugitive war crime suspects wanted by the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.
