The indicted Serb war crimes suspect, Zeljko Raznatovic, also known as Arkan, has died after being shot in a Belgrade hotel. Medical sources said that he died in hospital from a bullet wound to the left eye. Two other people, including a bodyguard, died in the shooting in the lobby of the Intercontinental Hotel.
Raznatovic was indicted by the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in March last year. He was accused of ordering his "Tigers" paramilitaries to massacre thousands of Muslims during the Bosnian war. He had repeatedly denied those accusations, and others claiming that his forces were involved in killings of ethnic Albanians in the Serbian province of Kosovo.
