U.S. applauds arrest of last fugitive wanted by UN war crimes court

Serbia has arrested Goran Hadzic, a former rebel who was the last remaining fugitive sought by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. “The arrest of Goran Hadzic is a milestone for the UN war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and an opportunity for justice,” Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. Hadzic faces 14 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and is accused of killing hundreds of Croats.
