UN court orders independent review after ex-general's death
None
A United Nations' war crimes tribunal ordered an independent review of its "internal operations" Friday following the dramatic death of a former Croatian general who swallowed what he said was poison in the tribunal's courtroom and later died.
Dutch prosecutors, meanwhile, said an autopsy was underway on Slobodan Praljak's body. The Hague Public Prosecution Service said two Croatian experts were observing the procedure at the request of the U.N. court, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
Results of the autopsy were not immediately available.
The tribunal said its review was meant to complement the ongoing investigation of Praljak's death by Dutch prosecutors.
