ZAGREB, Sept 1 (Hina) - Investigators from the Hague-based UN war
crimes tribunal started questioning retired Croatian Army General
Mirko Norac in Zagreb's Remetinec prison on Monday morning about
his role in combined Croatian army and police operations known as
the Medak Pocket and Storm. #L#
Norac's defence attorneys and the tribunal investigators entered
the prison compound shortly before 0800 hours, a prison official
said.
The retired general should have been questioned 15 days ago, but the
interview was postponed at the request of his lawyers, who said they
needed more time to prepare themselves.
Norac has been sentenced by a court in the northern Adriatic city of
Rijeka to 12 years in prison pending appeal for war crimes committed
in Gospic in 1991. He was transferred from the court's custody to
Remetinec prison over the weekend.
