karadzic.
I dagens DN på sidan 14 står det:
“Efter krigsslutet var Radovan Karadzic på flykt i elva år. När Karadzic till slut greps på en buss i Belgrad sommaren 2008 var det under spektakulära former. Med långt hår, skägg och tjocka glasögon var Karadzic svår att känna igen. Den tidigare psykiatrikern hade under flera år levt under täckmanteln av andlig ledare inom new agerörelsen. Ingen i hans närhet hade anat vem han var.”
Jag googlar på det och hittar en hemsida – http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92809597
Karadzic’s Dual Life: War Fugitive, New Age Mystic
Deborah Amos and Sylvia Poggioli
Since the arrest of Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader wanted for war crimes, the news in Belgrade is filled with details of his double life. He disappeared more than a decade ago, after his indictment, and he reappeared with a new identity — passing himself off as a New Age health guru. Karadzic practiced alternative medicine, wrote articles and even lectured under an alias… Karadzic looks completely different today. Long white hair, white beard. He looks more like a character out of [J. R. R.] Tolkien or Harry Potter than the very showy, pompous wartime leader that I remember….he passed himself off as an expert in something called “human quantum energy.” He used the name D.D. David, or Dragan Dabic. And it turns out he gave lectures all over Serbia on alternative medicine.
He also had his own Web site, I’ve read – Exactly, and it has photos of metal, bullet-shaped amulets, Orthodox crosses; it offers alternative cures and meditation for diabetes, stress, depression, even impotence. He was a regular contributor to the Serbian alternative medicine magazine, Healthy Life. He signed himself as “spiritual researcher” and his editor was really shocked to see who his contributor really was. And today the newspaper Blic carried interviews with average people who say they knew him as Dragan Dabic, and there’s one really incredible anecdote: Karadzic, aka Dabic, was a regular customer at a cafe, a hard-line nationalist hangout. He would go there and pick up a traditional Serbian stringed instrument and strum along as he recited mournful, Serbian epic poems of his own composition. And the cafe owner said that he always sat facing photographs on the wall of the other wanted war crime criminal Ratko Mladic, and of Radovan Karadzic.
