A former Bosnian Serb policeman has been arrested in connection with war crimes against civilians during the country's 1992-95 civil war. The police said Konstantin Simeunovic was arrested on Tuesday from Brcko district at the request of the local court in Bosnia's autonomous northern district. Simeunovic, a former Bosnian Serb policeman, was during the war a commander of a detention camp in Brcko where Serb forces held Muslim and Croat civilians, the SRNA news agency said. The UN war crimes court in The Hague gave the go-ahead for his case to be tried locally. The tribunal has to approve all war crimes trials before they go before Bosnian courts. **PHOTO CAPTION*** The United States signaled a stepped-up and concerted drive to isolate Bosnian war crimes suspects such as Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, shown here in 1994, who have escaped justice since the conflict ended nearly a decade ago.
