Former Bosnian leader Ejup Ganic arrested at Heathrow

Source: BBC

A former member of Bosnia's wartime presidency has been held at Heathrow Airport over alleged war crimes.

Ejup Ganic, 63, was arrested in London after Serbia had issued an extradition warrant, the Metropolitan Police said.

He and 18 other officials are accused of conspiracy to murder 40 soldiers, in breach of the Geneva Convention.

Mr Ganic was later remanded in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court. He is due to appear for another court hearing on 29 March.
