Macedonian ex-minister surrenders
The former Macedonian Interior Minister, Ljube Boskovski, is on his way to The Hague, where he has been indicted for war crimes.

The international tribunal indicted him and former bodyguard Johan Tarculovski on charges relating to the killing of seven ethnic Albanians in 2001.
...
Macedonian prosecutors have also accused Mr Boskovski of luring seven Asian migrant workers into Macedonia in 2002 and stage-managing their murder to make it look as if they had been al-Qaeda members fighting for the ethnic Albanian cause.

The second charge is very interesting - he is accused of trying to get US support by implying al Qaeda was trying to operate in Macedonia.
