Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic filed on May 25, 2009 what he claimed was evidence of an immunity deal struck with a top US diplomat and asked a war crimes court to dismiss the case against him. Karadzic claims Holbrooke -- now US President Barack Obama's special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan -- made the undertaking with the authority of the UN Security Council. The council is the parent body of tribunal, based in The Hague, that will try him on 11 counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in Bosnia's 1992-1995 war.
