Karadzic appeals his extradition to U.N. court

BELGRADE, Serbia -- Serbia's state-run daily said Radovan Karadzic's lawyer has filed a last-minute appeal against Karadzic's extradition to the United Nations war crimes court in the Netherlands. Politika quoted Karadzic's attorney, Svetozar Vujacic, as saying he lodged the motion late Friday, hoping to stall the handover of his client to the tribunal in The Hague. Karadzic was captured Monday in Belgrade. He is likely to be handed over to the U.N. tribunal this week.
