Do we chalk this up to justice? I don't usually paste a whole article, but the story is too short to bother linking. I found it at
Yahoo! News. This is it.
Netherlands - Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav leader who orchestrated the Balkan wars of the 1990s and was on trial for war crimes, was found dead in his prison cell at the U.N. detention center near The Hague, the U.N. tribunal said Saturday. He was 65.
A tribunal press officer in The Hague said Milosevic was found dead in his bed, apparently of natural causes.
Milosevic has been on trial since February 2002, defending himself against 66 counts of war crimes, including genocide, in Croatia, Bosnia and
Kosovo.
The trial has been repeatedly interrupted by Milosevic's poor health and chronic heart condition.
It was recessed last week until Tuesday to await his next defense witness. Milosevic also was waiting for a court decision on his request to subpoena former
President Clinton as a witness.
