One of the world's most wanted men, Bosnian Serb wartime president Radovan Karadzic, has been arrested in Serbia after thirteen years on the run.

Serbian President Boris Tadic and judicial sources made the announcement on Monday.

Karadzic is twice indicted for genocide for the 43-month siege of Sarajevo which claimed 12,000 lives, and for orchestrating the 1995 massacre of some 8,000 Muslims at Srebrenica - the worst atrocity in Europe since World War II.
