Serb War Crimes Fugitive Worked in Belgrade Clinic

Bosnian Serb Radovan Karadzic, arrested yesterday on war crimes charges after a 13-year manhunt, has been living in Belgrade with a fabricated identity and a private practice in alternative medicine, the BBC reports. Karadzic, sporting a long white beard and the name Dragan Dabic, walked in public freely, police said this morning, purporting to be a non-Serbian citizen.

Individuals helping Karadzic—who had not been seen in public since 1996—conceal his identity had been under surveillance a substantial period of time, Serbian officials said of events leading to his arrest. Karadzic has been one of the world's most wanted war criminals for his role in the 1995 massacre of nearly 8,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica. (More Radovan Karadzic stories.)
