Milosevic not poisoned, UN finds
BBC ^ | Wednesday, 31 May 2006 | unattributed

There is no evidence to suggest that former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was poisoned, according to a United Nations investigation. The Hague tribunal's report said he died of a heart attack - despite claims "in some segments of the media that he was the victim of murder". Mr Milosevic died in his cell on 11 March while on trial for war crimes. The report said security breaches did allow him to self-medicate but said he had received "proper care"... Doctors from Serbia, Russia, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, who had treated him before or during his time in detention were also consulted by the inquiry... The report ruled out suicide and added that Mr Milosevic had serious health problems before he arrived at the tribunal in 2003. He also refused to stop smoking or take exercise and often ignored medical advice.

RIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....

I would have paid a hundred dollars to watch the spetznaz rescue Milosevic. Two hundred if they could have shot the Hague to absolute pieces in the process.

No worries - there are enough clowns to last quite awhile longer.

It wasn't a heart attack that killed the man. It was sheer boredom.

Being put on trial by the U.N. for war crimes is 99% waiting to die, and 1% figuring out ways to bribe guards to sneak in opiates.

Thank God the UN has cleared that up. Now we can put all doubts to rest.

Hey, if people in other countries want to buy, use, or sell heroin, it's none of our garsh-darned business. Libertarianism forever. ;')

"Jews not targeted for extermination, Nazis find"

Jews "refused to stop smoking or take exercise and often ignored medical advice". That is why they had high mortality rate.

The good news is that he's dead. Everything else is no news.

The only way Milosevic was going to leave The Hague was dead or guilty. Since a guilty conclusion couldn't be reached...

No doubt about it. I'm sure years ago many of us started watching to see how long it would take until Milosevic conveniently bellied up while in prison. I know I did.

We all know that a "guilty" verdict would have been a complete joke and would have invited way too much second guessing that could not stand up to any scrutiny what so ever.

Slobo's dead. Long live the lies about the Serbian people.

>>>>>>>Milosevic not poisoned, UN finds<<<<<<

Of course not. He died of torture while in UN custody.

Denying medical care to critically ill patient while in custody is TORTURE.

His cell was under 24/7 surveillance, yet he was left for two hours unconscious, until he died.
