Slobodan Milosevic has died in prison in The Hague while on trial at the UN war crimes tribunal for genocide and other war crimes. He was 64 years old.

Mr. Milosevic was the leader of Yugoslavia when that government’s policies to some of its citizens led President Clinton to use NATO to force the Yugoslav armed forces to withdraw from the areas of contention.

Mr. Milosevic’s request to go to Russia for medical treatment was rejected last month. He had high blood pressure and a heart condition.

I guess not. Few will mourn his passing, I suspect.

Why was his request for medical treatment rejected? I suspect this as become a trend in prisons everywhere.

His request was rejected because the Court had fears he would claim sanctuary in Russia.

I'm assuming they refused the request for treatment in Russia, not the treatment itself.

Was anyone else disappointed when Saddam Hussein stopped his hunger strike?
