Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic last week accused Bosnian Muslims of murdering their own people in Sarajevo in order to provoke Western military intervention in the country.
Karadzic, 64, made his accusation in his opening remarks before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague.

Sarajevo siege orchestrated: Karadzic

“They killed their own people,” Karadzic said.
The siege of Sarajevo, the longest in modern history, lasted from 1992-96. Almost 10,000 people are thought to have died in the city, which was bombarded by artillery, mortars and aircraft as well as suffering sniper fire.
Karadzic also accused Bosnian Muslim fighters of using hospitals and schools as military installations and as a result rendering them fair targets.
The prosecution argues that Karadzic wanted to destroy non-Serb communities in the eastern part of Bosnia as part of his plan to create a pure Serbian state.
The former psychiatrist, who was living in hiding under an assumed identity at the time of  his arrest in 2008, also dismissed the Srebrenica massacre of July 1995 as a myth.
The trial was adjourned pending a ruling on a request from Karadzic for another postponement in the trial, UK daily The Guardian reported.
