SFOR ARRESTS ANOTHER BOSNIAN SERB WAR CRIMES SUSPECT

SARAJEVO, June 7 (Hina) - Members of NATO's Stabilisation Force (SFOR) in Bosnia-Herzegovina on Monday arrested another Bosnian Serb indicted for war crimes by The Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. According to an SFOR statement delivered to Hina's Sarajevo-based office, the peace-keeping force around noon arrested 33-year-old Dragan Kulundzija, former guard commander at Keraterm, a concentration camp near Prijedor, north-western Bosnia, where Bosnian Muslim and Croat inmates were tortured. The statement does not say where Kulundzija was arrested. During the arrest, carried out on orders by NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana and NATO chief commander for Europe Wesley Clark, no SFOR member was injured, while Kulundzija was immediately transferred to The Hague. The Hague tribunal has indicted Kulundzija for serious violations of the Geneva Convention, the law and customs of war, and crimes against humanity. Kulundzija is suspected of killings, participation in the harassment and inhuman treatment of prisoners during the time he was one of several guard commanders at the Keraterm camp. The SFOR statement points out the Kulundzija arrest is another warning to all war crimes suspects still at large, and adds the international community believes the arrest of such persons is a significant factor in building peace and reconciliation in Bosnia- Herzegovina.
