WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL REJECTS APPEAL BY INDICTED BOSNIAN MOSLEM

THE HAGUE, Oct 9 (Hina) - The International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia in The Hague has rejected a motion by Bosnian Moslem Zejnil Delalic over defects in the form of the indictment, the tribunal said on Wednesday. Delalic's attorney, Edina Residovic, filed a motion on August 20 claiming that the indictment was "vague, undefined, contradictory and ungrounded" and that it was "factually incorrect". According to the indictment, Delalic, former commander of the Celebici detention camp, did nothing to prevent crimes against Serb inmates of the camp. The tribunal said in a statement that the indictment "articulates each charge specifically and separately". The tribunal concluded that "whether or not the allgegations listed in the indictment are true ultimately will be determined at trial." (hina) vm 091315 MET oct 96
