Balkans: Radovan Karadžić indictment amended

Link:  UN judges approve new Karadzic indictment [Associated Press]

Judges at the UN-based International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia have amended the indictment against former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadžić.  The charge sheet has been reduced in an attempt to streamline and speed up the trial but importantly, the charges now include two chares of genocide: the first charge was for his involvement in ethnic cleansing campaigns throughout Bosnia and the second relates specifically to the Srebrenica massacres in 1995.

He will answer pleas tomorrow.
