World IN BRIEF / NETHERLANDS : Bosnian Serb Held by U.N. Pleads Innocent
During his arraignment before the U.N. war crimes tribunal, Gen. Momir Talic, the Bosnian Serb military chief of staff, pleaded innocent to charges of committing crimes against humanity in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The tribunal in The Hague did not set a trial date for Talic, who was indicted in March along with former Bosnian Serb Cabinet minister Radislav Brdjanin. They are accused of planning and orchestrating a bloody purge of more than 100,000 Muslims and Croats in 1992. Talic was arrested last week in Vienna. Brdjanin had been arrested July 6.
