From Times Wire Reports
A Serbian general indicted for war crimes in the siege of Sarajevo in Bosnia’s 1992-95 war gave himself up to the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, chief prosecutor Carla Del Ponte said.
Dragomir Milosevic, no relation to former Serb strongman Slobodan Milosevic, was on a list of 19 indictees still at large.
The general commanded the Bosnian Serb army’s Sarajevo Romanija Corps, which, according to his 1998 indictment, shelled the Bosnian capital “with the intention to kill, maim, wound and terrorize.” The 43-month siege claimed 10,500 lives.
