Karadzic wants documents from Croatia

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has sent a letter to the Croatian government seeking co-operation over documents related to arms smuggling during the 1992-1995 Bosnian conflict, the UN war crimes tribunal announced on Monday (July 19th). Karadzic wants to use the documents as part of his defence at The Hague. He believes that in addition to humanitarian aid, Islamic countries provided Bosnia and Herzegovina with weapons, some of which were smuggled via Croatia. The court has urged Croatian authorities to co-operate with Karadzic or his legal advisers.
