Suspected War Criminal Released From Custody
From Times Wire Reports
A Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect captured last month in a shootout that killed his wife was released from custody.
Dragomir Abazovic was charged two years ago with war crimes from the 1992-95 Bosnian conflict, during which he served in the Bosnian Serb army.
But Bosnia’s State Court ruled that Abazovic should be freed because that indictment was issued by a regional court before new laws transferred jurisdiction for all war crimes cases to the State Court.
The latter court is expected to issue a new indictment.
