WHATEVER backlash there is towards British troops in Bosnia after SAS men shot dead a Bosnian Serb police chief wanted for alleged ethnic cleansing and arrested his underling, they must not be deterred from the quest of bringing to book others wanted for war crimes.

For it is not just that there are far bigger fish to be caught, but, after the genocidal horrors they are alleged to have brought to Bosnia, the fact that they are still swimming free that is also a crime.

International justice dictate that these men be hunted down. And we should do it with a will.
