Sarajevo welcomes Karadzic arrest

Thousands of Bosnian Muslims joined spontaneous street celebrations on Monday night as news quickly spread of the arrest of Radovan Karadzic, Bosnia's most wanted war crimes suspect.

Charged with being behind a series of atrocities in the 1992-95 Bosnian war, Karadzic was captured by Serbian security forces in Belgrade.

Within minutes the news had quickly spread through Sarajevo, the Bosnian capital, with the city's street jammed with honking cars and people pouring out of cafes and restaurants, many singing and chanting.
