The former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic is arrested in Belgrade.

Sarajevo residents celebrate in the streets of the Bosnian capital early July 22, 2008 after hearing news of Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic's arrest in Belgrade. Karadzic and his military commander Ratko Mladic are seen as the main culprits of the 1992-95 Bosnia war that claimed some 100,000 lives. The two men were indicted over the Sarajevo siege, during which up to 11,000 people were killed, and the Srebrenica genocide of 8,000 Muslim men and boys.
