Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karazic was "criminally responsible" for the murder and persecution of Bosnian Muslims and Croats during the 1990s war, UN war crimes judges said Thursday.

Reading out the verdict and before pronouncing whether he was guilty or not on 11 charges, the judge said it was clear that Karadzic, who was at "the apex of" the Bosnian Serb leadership, bore "individual criminal responsibility" for murder, persecution as well as the hostage-taking of UN peacekeepers.
