War crime suspect arrested (Srebrenica)
Associated Press in Zagreb
Tuesday June 14, 2005
The Guardian

Police have arrested a man suspected of being one of the killers who executed Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995, officials said yesterday.

The 52-year-old Croatian citizen, an ethnic Serb identified only as Slobodan D, was taken into custody on Sunday in eastern Croatia.

The arrest came less than two weeks after the UN war crimes court released footage of the executions of six Bosnian Muslims by members of the notorious Scorpions paramilitary unit.

Slobodan D was arrested in the village of Banovci, where he lived, said a senior police official. He will be charged with war crimes against civilians, and could face 20 years in prison if convicted.
