General Rasim Delic faces prosecution for failing to halt mujahadeen fighters in the former Yugoslavia from beheading and gunning down captured Serbian and Croatian prisoners. Delic, one of the highest ranking Bosnian Muslim commanders to face prosecution at the UN tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, is charged with murder, rape, and inhumane treatment. He is one of only a handful of Bosnian Muslims to face prosecution at the UN tribunal. Prosecutors in the case have been arguing for Delic's case to be transferred to Bosnian courts, however, his defense team said that would cause undue delays. The UN war crimes tribunal for atrocities in the former Yugoslavia is expected to close in 2010.
