U.N. judges have found former Bosnian Serb Leader Radovan Karadzic responsible for crimes against humanity in various areas of Bosnia, including murder, terror and unlawful attacks on civilians.
Karadzic had previously been acquitted of a charge of genocide for that region, Reuters reports. The judges have yet to rule on a count of genocide in Srebenica, which Karadzic is also facing.
He has been on trial at an international court in The Hague facing 11 charges including accusations of genocide and war crimes carried out during the war in Bosnia during the 1990s. The AP says Karadzic faces a maximum life sentence.
Those crimes include the worst atrocity in Europe since World War II, the massacre of about 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in 1995.
Karadzic has denied the charges and defended himself during his trial, which lasted just short of 500 days. He said he worked for peace and tried to prevent war during his time as head of the self-styled Bosnian Serb Republic.
The 70-year-old former psychiatrist famously avoided capture for 11 years after the war, at one point growing long hair and a beard and adopting a fake name to live openly as a faith healer in Serbia.
He was captured in 2008, and became one of the most senior figures from the Bosnian war to go on trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
The former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic died while in custody at the tribunal 10 years ago, and Ratko Mladic, the commander of Serb forces at Srebrenica, is in jail in the Netherlands awaiting sentence.
