PODGORICA, Serbia-Montenegro (AP) Dec. 25 — Top Bosnian war crimes suspect Gen. Ratko Mladic is considering turning himself in to Serbian authorities and is negotiating terms under which he would surrender, a former police official was quoted as saying.
Marko Nicovic, former Belgrade police chief and an expert on security issues in the Balkan republic, told the Montenegro-based Mina news agency that the Bosnian Serb wartime commander is seeking from Serbia’s authorities “material guarantees concerning his family and his supporters” who have helped him evade justice for years.

Serbia has been under intense international pressure to find and extradite Mladic, as well as the other Bosnian Serb wartime leader, Radovan Karadzic, who headed the civilian government. Both were indicted for crimes against humanity during Bosnia’s 1992 to 1995 war and have been sought for more than a decade by the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.

As has been reported by many diaries here @BooMan’s Place, there are still too many hot spots where US and coalition special forces are engaged with Afghan Taleban forces and supporters of Osama Bin Laden. There was another broadcast in past few days from Al Zawahiri, while VP Cheney on his shortened visit announced withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
Injured in road side explosion in Afghanistan
KABUL Afghanistan (Khajeel Times/AP) Dec. 26 — A roadside explosion hit a patrol of international peacekeepers in northern Afghanistan, injuring two Dutch soldiers and two Afghan civilians, officials said.
The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said two vehicles were badly damaged in the explosion near New Baghlan, about 200 kilometers north of Kabul. Mir Alam, the chief of police in the region, said the attack occurred at around noon, and that the explosion was caused by a remote-controlled land mine.
The two injured soldiers were moved to a nearby German medical facility. Their injuries were not life threatening, ISAF said in a statement. ISAF did not give identities or nationalities of the injured troops but Alam said they were Dutch.
There was no word on the condition of the injured Afghan civilians.
Alam blamed Hizb-e-Islami, an Islamic faction led by renegade warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar for the explosion, saying Baghlan was a former stronghold of Hekmatyar. Hekmatyar is believed to have joined forces with Al Qaeda and the Taleban in fighting the government.
