Al Jazeera English - Europe - Karadzic calls war 'just and holy'

Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader, has told judges presiding over his genocide trial that the Bosnian wars during the 1990s were "just and holy". Karadzic addressed the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Hague on Monday, ending his months-long boycott of the proceedings. He told that court that the Bosnian Serbs had defended themselves against Islamic fundamentalists who had started the war in Bosnia to lay claim to the entire country. "I will defend that nation of ours and their cause that is just and holy. We have a good case. We have good evidence and proof," he said.
