The Karadzic arrest is now a "top-story" on google. There are a number of articles on the arrest of Karadzic and various reactions; (now summarized in this handy guide) but not surprisingly, they are short on details of the actual arrest. Although I expect that to change over the next few days.
Rhetorical question: I wonder how long until the obligatory "free Radovan" website pops up?
No doubt it will contain the good doctor's poetry.
Note: Check East Ethnia for more details and updates from the Serbian press.

There already are 'Free Radovan Karadižić' websites! They come up on for example, my Google mail....
I am delighted he was arrested.
Holbrooke: I was overjoyed. This was bringing to justice one of the worst, most evil men in the world. He is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. I think he was worse than even Slobodan Milosevic and Ratko Mladic in the sense that he was the true believer in the racist theories. He believed in racial superiority even though Muslims and Serbs were really basically the same ethnicity. But they took different religious courses several centuries ago. He would have made a good Nazi.
SPIEGEL: What influence did the new pro-Western government under the leadership of President Boris Tadic have on Karadzic's arrest?
Holbrooke: The newly elected government of Tadic had the political strength to force the security services to take this action. I have great, great respect for President Tadic for his courage and his tremendous achievement. Up to now the security services were protecting Karadzic and his military chief Mladic. Furthermore, the previous government was intimidated by the fascist thugs and mafioso that were also protecting Karadzic and Mladic.
