#1 FWIW, I've been through that very security hut. The ICTY is a sprawling concrete and glass complex with really nothing else for 50-100 yards in every direction. Bloody unlikely it could be mistaken for a bank, or that it was crossfire from some nearby melee, so I don't see how it could be "unrelated" to the tribunal's work. Finding and trying all the Srebrenica perps is mainly what they're up to these days. Among other things, Del Ponte is currently trying to nab two fugitives in Russia.

#2 Oh yes. It was inadequately trained, equipped, and supported Dutch UN peacekeeping troops that stood by and watched the Srebrenica massacre, in which 8000 Bosnian Muslims were slaughtered by Serbs. A video of it was released just last week that caused even more outrage than pee on a Qur'an. And now a UN tribunal in the Netherlands sits in judgment of a war crime it should have prevented. So I would also consider payback as a possibility.

#4 That's her right Peter. Altho if she'd waited for a few years we might have made it painless.

#7 AMSTERDAM â Police say it appears that the shooting of an officer outside the Yugoslav tribunal in The Hague on Monday evening was a self-inflicted accident.

We got any swell prizes for Peter?
