Quote: | Milosevic found dead at The Hague
Slobodan Milosevic, the former Serbian strongman regarded as the chief architect of the carnage unleashed during the breakup of Yugoslavia, died Saturday in custody at The Hague, where he was on trial for war crimes in the killing fields of the Balkan states of Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo.
The 64-year-old Milosevic -- the leader of the Serbian republic and then the leader of multi-republic Yugoslavia -- held sway over the country when hundreds of thousands of people were killed, and millions were forced to leave their homes as the fall of communism opened the door to ethnic and religious strife. |

I was really shocked when I heard this. So sad for the people who suffered, and the people who lost family & friends because of him..

Yeah, I know. His lawyer said it was poisoning, I don't believe that. It was just an old man with heart problems.
