SARAJEVO POSTED WITH WARRANTS FOR KARADZIC'S, MLADIC'S ARREST

SARAJEVO, Jan 19 (Hina) - Warrants for the arrest of Bosnian Serb war crimes suspects Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic appeared in the area of Sarajevo on Saturday. The posters, which bear Karadzic's and Mladic's photos, also offer a reward of five million dollars for any information which could lead to their arrest. The warrants also include a phone number and an e-mail address for those in possession of relevant information. The posters are part of a campaign the US Department of Justice launched previously in line with a decision of former US president Bill Clinton to apprehend the two men by offering rewards. The same reward was offered for the arrest of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic. Karadzic and Mladic have been considered fugitives for more than six years, following the issuing of an indictment charging them with genocide and crimes against humanity. It is believed that Karadzic is hiding in the mountainous region of eastern Bosnia while Mladic is believed to be in Belgrade, where he reportedly enjoys the protection of the Yugoslav army.
