SFOR LAUNCHES ANOTHER SEARCH IN PALE AREA

SARAJEVO, Jan 13 (Hina) - The NATO-led Stabilisation Force (SFOR) in Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tuesday launched another search for war criminals in the Pale area, east of Sarajevo, following a similar operation carried out over the past two days.#L# SFOR spokesman Dave Sullivan told reporters in the afternoon the operation was launched around 0130 hours today and was still under way. This time, SFOR is searching a house in Breznik, an eastern neighbourhood of Pale. Sullivan said potential intelligence material had already been collected and that the detailed search was continuing. He confirmed the operation was part of continued efforts by Bosnian authorities and SFOR against war criminals and those helping them, but declined to be more specific about what type of building SFOR was searching. Bosnian Serb entity television has said the target of the latest SFOR operation is Radovan Karadzic's old family house, which it claims is abandoned, with only the housekeeper living in it. SFOR allegedly interviewed the housekeeper about the last time Karadzic stayed in the house and when he was last seen in Pale. Bosnian Serb police are engaged in the SFOR operations. (Hina) ha sb
