Wartime Prison Camp Commander Surrenders
A commander of a Bosnian Serb wartime prison camp where several hundred Muslims were killed has surrendered, Bosnian Serb police said.
Savo Todovic helped oversee a Serb-run camp in Foca, an eastern town where 1,500 Muslims were killed early in the 1992-95 Bosnian war. The exact number of those killed in the camp has never been determined but exceeds 300.
Todovic has been transferred to the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, a spokeswoman at the tribunal said. He has been charged with 18 counts of crimes against humanity, violations of the laws and customs of war and grave breaches of international conventions.
