The legal team representing Bosnian war crimes suspect, Radovan Karadzic, said Thursday they filed a petition which could delay his extradition to the war crimes tribunal at The Hague.
Bosnian officials captured the former Bosnian leader Monday after 13 years on the run. He allegedly, with fellow cohort Ratko Mladic, coordinated, among other things, the massacre at Srebrenica.
Officials announced his detention Monday, though his lawyer, Svetozar Vujacic, said he was captured last week.
“Someone will have a lot of explaining to do about why they lied to us and the world public about the date of Radovan Karadzic's arrest,” he said.
Vujacic said his client was arrested on a bus in Belgrade Friday afternoon, hooded, and transferred to a secret location for interrogation.
“We have evidence and three witnesses who were there on the 18th (of July),’ he said.
