From Yahoo News:

BELGRADE (Reuters) - Bosnian Serb wartime president Radovan Karadzic, one of the world's most wanted men for his part in civilian massacres, was arrested on Monday, Serbian President Boris Tadic's office said on Monday.

My Comment: This past weekend I was talking a friend and he asked me why is Osama Bin Laden still free. I answered that the reason why he is free is the same reason why Radovan Karadzic has not been captured even though Karadzic is hiding in the heart of Europe. He has loyal allies, and there is a lack of will among European powers to capture him.

Surprise .... surprise. Two days later they got him.

Maybe Osama is next.
