Associated Press
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia —
A third appeal for clemency by Andrija Artukovic, under death sentence for war crimes when Croatia was a Nazi puppet state, has been rejected, the state news agency Tanjug said today.
Artukovic, 87, who had been living in Seal Beach, was extradited from the United States in February and tried for crimes against humanity and war crimes in connection with the deaths of more than 700,000 Jews, Serbs and Gypsies between 1941 and 1945.
