NATO raids Karadzic family homes

From UPI reports

NATO troops raided the homes of two children of suspected Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic on Tuesday.

NATO spokesman Derek Chappell said around 3 a.m., troops acted on a tip that Sonja and Sasha Karadzic were allegedly involved in an organized network to help their father avoid capture.

The houses are in the town of Pale, 10 miles east of Sarajevo, from where Karadzic, a psychiatrist, was the political leader of Bosnian Serbs who laid siege to Sarajevo and slaughtered thousands of Muslims in Srebrenica during the 1992-95 Yugoslav war.

Chappell said no arrests were made but Karadzic's children were being questioned.

"We have been (to the houses) before and we'll come back again and again as the evidence suggests they are involved in this network," he said.

Karadzic and his military counterpart, Gen. Ratko Mladic, are wanted on war crimes and genocide charges by the U.N. Yugoslav tribunal in The Hague.
