US citizen extradited to Bosnia for war crimes

The United States extradited a former Bosnian soldier to face charges of war crimes in Bosnia.

Edin Dzeko, now a naturalised US citizen, is accused of taking part in the mass murder of Croatian civilians in the South of Bosnia, in 1993.

In a statement, the Bosnian prosecutor's office said,

"Defendant Edin Dzeko was deported from the United States and handed over to Bosnia-Herzegovina authorities on December 20."
