AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav leader who orchestrated the Balkan wars of the 1990s and was on trial for war crimes, was found dead in his prison cell near The Hague, the U.N. tribunal said Saturday.

Milosevic, 64, apparently died of natural causes, a tribunal press officer said. He was found dead in his bed at the U.N. detention center.

Saw it.

Too easy a way to go for a man with his history.

The best part of this news...he's got to answer to his maker now and will pay far more than any human could ever make him pay for his previous actions.

Good riddance. Is his Muslim counter-part also on trial?

His Muslim opposite, Alija Izetbegović, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alija_Izetbegovic) died in 2003........

Carla Del Ponte has stated that had he not died when he did, Izetbegović may have faced charges arising out of war crimes committed by Bosnian government forces. The Bosnian Serbs and Croats twice petitioned the war crimes tribunal at The Hague to indict him on charges of genocide, violations of the customs of war and other issues. No indictment was issued.

Why am I not surprised?

Because the Hague is a joke. There is only one player with the balls to really go after war criminals.

I was reading some stuff on one of the german news websites today with my tutor and apparently Milosevic was claiming that he was being poisoned and the Russian foreign minister is buying it. According to this report he wants to send Russian doctors to look over the autopsy report. On the other hand one of the doctors that was treating Milosevic thinks that he was basically poisoning himself to get a free ticket to Russia.
