Zagreb - Ten Bosnian Croats, including one of Bosnia's most wanted war crimes suspects, Dario Kordic, will go to The Hague to face charges before the UN war crimes tribunal, the Croatian defence minister said yesterday.

Speaking on Croatian television, Mr Gojko Susak did not say when this would happen, but the lawyers of nine of the defendants said their clients would leave today. All 10 are wanted in connection with war crimes perpetrated against Muslims in central Bosnia's Lasva valley during spring 1993.
