Slobodna Dalmacija's Coverage of Gotovina Arrest
IN Croatian, but pretty full coverage, from Slobodna Dalmacija...
Front Page
Of course a paper like Slobodna Dalmacija would cover the entire details of the arrest of General Gotovina.
second page, here I'll do the hard part,
The Rest of the Story
includes a picture of his fake passport. interestingly a couple other sources I have read indicate h e also had a fake French passport, or possibly a quite real French passport, since he was ex French Foreign Legion, he may have had a right to one, don't know how that works, adn since no one from France reads here, I can't ask. Should some nice French person stumble across this site, I would not mind knowing how that works*. Never mind, here's the answer to part of that question, I wonder if it was under the name Grabovac.
*Gotovina was the driver of Coronel Erulin. After five years, he left the Legion, and gained French nationality in 1979.
Whereabouts
The Spanish police who handle international stuff th at should not be happening in Spain have been pretty busy. They busted some Al Qaida types too and there was a Non Balkans Blipvert story on NPR about that.
*Bonus* picture the exact moment of arrest.
exact moment
Gordy looks like no coffee to me. kako bez kulturno!
Getting a bit sick of Blipvert News. Stop it and tell us the news you people!
oh and placeing code is really really really really really rough for people who are nearsighted, i wish Blogger would just fix that part of this instead of makeing me have to do it Bora's way!
