Kosovo leader flown to Hague for trial
THE HAGUE, March 9: Kosovo's former Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj surrendered to The Hague tribunal on Wednesday to face war crimes charges, a day after stepping down and winning praise for his prompt compliance with the court.
His wife by his side, the ethnic Albanian former rebel leader said farewell to 200 well-wishers chanting his name before boarding a German military plane at Kosovo's Slatina airport to fly to the Netherlands. "Thanks very much for coming. Bye now," the 36-year-old told supporters. -Reuters
