SFOR CONFIRMS ARREST OF TWO BOSNIAN SERB WAR CRIME SUSPECTS

( Editorial: --> 5640 ) SARAJEVO, April 8 (Hina) - The SFOR command in Sarajevo on Wednesday night confirmed that earlier in the day NATO troops had arrested two Bosnian Serb war crimes suspects. The SFOR headquarters said Mladen Radic, 46, and Miroslav Kvocki, 41, had been arrested but particulars of their arrest were not released to the public. According to arrest warrants issued by the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Radic and Kvocka are wanted for crimes committed while they were guards at the Omarska camp near Prijedor (north-western Bosnia) during the summer of 1992. The two men are accused of mistreating Bosniak (Muslim) and Croat prisoners and committing serious breaches of the international convention on human rights. The warrants used by SFOR troops in Bosnia-Herzegovina also read that the two men last resided in Prijedor. (Hina) mm mb /lm 082130 MET apr 98
