i'm glad to see the 13-year late capture of Radovan Karadzic, a man responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of non-Serbs and drove hundreds of thousands from their homes and thousands more imprisoned in concentration camps where many died.
i also found his time in hiding pretty interesting, taking a job as a prominent alternate medicine therapist (as Dr. Dragan David Dabic) and even having a bloody website:

BELGRADE, SERBIA -- He grew a bushy white beard and called himself Doctor David. He peddled meditation and alternative healing, sold amulets on a website and made the rounds on the lecture circuit.
Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader regarded as one of the world's most notorious fugitive war-crimes suspects, built a life on the lam that was public, if disguised, and seemingly unfettered by fears of detection.
The true identity of the bespectacled, white-haired man, who looked a bit the unkempt Santa Claus, was unknown to his landlords, neighbors, the man who designed his website and the editor of the magazine he wrote for.
Using the name Dragan David Dabic, Karadzic was practicing medicine in a private clinic, authorities said, and writing a column for Healthy Life, a small magazine that publishes every other month.
"He happily, freely walked around the city," Vladimir Vukcevic, Serbia's war crimes prosecutor, said Tuesday.
After eluding capture for 13 years, Karadzic was arrested by Serbian security forces in the Belgrade suburb where he had made his home, snatched as he rode a public bus. One day after officials announced he was in custody, Karadzic awaited probable extradition to the international war crimes tribunal at The Hague.
The 63-year-old Karadzic has been indicted on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and other atrocities stemming from a campaign to repress Bosnian Muslims and other non-Serbs as Bosnia-Herzegovina attempted to break away from Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.
