Karadzic Operation 'Netted War Documents'

Belgrade _ The operation that ended with the arrest of top war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic also netted key wartime documents, a top Serbian security official says.

These include documents from the wartime Bosnian Serb republic's General Staff, personal file and photographs which belong to the former Bosnian Serb leader Karadzic, Serbia's Interior Minister, Ivica Dacic said on Monday.

"All those belongings were temporarily confiscated," Dacic said at the session of the Serbian parliament's committee for security.

In addition, Serbian police is set to launch an investigation into the circumstances which allowed Karadzic to have an identification card with the name of Dragan Dabic.

"Some facts from papers found in Karadzic's apartment lead to the conclusion that his identification was a forgery."

There are total of 61 people with that name in Serbia, Dacic said.

Wartime Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic was arrested last week in Serbia, where he was hiding disguised as a doctor of alternative medicine. He has been charged for genocide and war crimes by the International Crimes Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia, and was in hiding ever since 1996.

Karadzic is currently awaiting a decision on his appeal against extradition to The Hague.
