August 30th 2001: Milosevic to face genocide charge

Former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic is to be charged with genocide - the most serious of all war crimes. Mr Milosevic was told of the new indictment as he appeared before the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague for a second time. He is already facing four charges relating to war crimes and crimes against humanity arising from the Kosovo conflict in 1999. Mr Milosevic is the first former head of state to be charged with such offences.
