Bosnia sounds really peaceful:

NATO troops seeking war crimes suspect in Bosnia


ASSOCIATED PRESS

PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina – Gunfire and an explosion resounded early Thursday as NATO troops surrounded a building in Pale, the city where a major war crimes suspect has taken refuge, officials said.

Two helicopters landed in front of the building. Soldiers carried two people out on stretchers, and the choppers flew off.

Pale is the site of the headquarters of Radovan Karadzic, the leader of Bosnia's Serbs during the republic's ethnic war.

He is indicted by the U.N. tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, on suspicion of war crimes.

Capt. Dave Sullivan, a spokesman for the NATO-led peacekeeping force in Bosnia, spoke of an "an ongoing operation regarding persons indicted for war-crimes," but declined to go into details beyond saying that American, British and other international troops were involved.

About 100 residents gathered around the area, cordoned off by peacekeepers with white tape in the center of Pale.

At least they are going after the war criminal Karadzic now. Gee that only took, what, 10 years? Yep, I can see how they've got the place under good control.
