Bosnia wants war crimes suspect
Police have arrested a man in Leidschendam on the request of the Bosnian authorities who suspect him of committing war crimes in the 1990s.
The 39-year-old man, a naturalised Dutch national whose name has not been released, is suspected of having killed a prisoner of war in November 1993, reports Associated Press. The man received asylum in the Netherlands two years later.
Bosnia has now asked for his extradition and prosecutors say the request will be handled by a court in The Hague ‘shortly’ says AP.
