Serbia issues arrest warrant for suspected Nazi
Serbia has issued an international warrant for the arrest of an alleged Nazi war crimes suspect who lives in the United States. A Serbian court said Friday that 88-year-old Peter Egner is suspected of war crimes against Jews in Belgrade during the German occupation of Serbia in World War II.
Egner allegedly had served in a Nazi unit that killed about 17,000 civilians in 1941 and 1942. Serbian prosecutors say the unit used a specially designed van in which they gassed the victims with carbon monoxide. (AP)
