Radovan Karadzic hopes to defend himself against U.N. war crimes charges, his lawyer said Wednesday, raising the prospect that one of Europe’s most wanted men will use the courtroom to preach Serb nationalism and rewrite the history of the Balkan wars.
Radovan Karadzic was preparing his false identity during the autocratic rule of his mentor, an official said Thursday, promising to track down the people who helped the Bosnian Serb warlord stay on the run from genocide charges.

He was accused of masterminding massacres that the U.N. war crimes tribunal described as “scenes from hell, written on the darkest pages of human history.”
