THE HAGUE, Netherlands, March 2 (UPI) -- Radovan Karadzic at his war-crimes trial in the Netherlands Tuesday said Muslims faked bombings and "killed their own people" in the 1990s to blame the Serbs.
Karadzic, the wartime Bosnian Serb leader who is being tried by the United Nations in The Hague for war crimes and genocide, said Bosnian Muslims had a "cunning strategy … that aimed at bringing in foreign troops and foreign intervention" in the Bosnian War.
"They shelled their own people and killed their own people from snipers. … You see that it was staged. Perhaps it was corpses that were planted," said Karadzic.
"It is going to be easy for me to prove that I had nothing to do with it," he said. "It is a myth."
Karadzic appealed for more time to prepare his defense, and the trial was adjourned Tuesday.
