Genocide suspect flown to Hague court

SARAJEVO (AFP) - A former Bosnian Serb general facing genocide charges before the UN war crimes tribunal was transferred Friday to the Hague-based court a day after his arrest, NATO said.

Zdravko Tolimir departed Sarajevo airport on board a NATO plane, said Derek Chappell, the spokesman for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization peacekeeping mission in Bosnia.

"He has left Bosnia. It is a NATO operation to ensure that Tolimir is delivered to The Hague," Chappell told AFP without providing any more details.
