THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) —
The first war crimes trial since the post-
World War II prosecutions at Nuremberg
and Tokyo came to an end Wednes-
day after nearly four years of hear
ings, appeals and cross-appeals.
U.N. judges concluded Dusan
Tadic’s case by shaving five years
off a 25-year sentence given to the
Bosnian Serb police reservist for
torturing and murdering Muslim
and Croat prisoners.
U.N. Chief Prosecutor Carla
Del Ponte welcomed the ruling, de
spite the show of leniency to the 44-
year-old, nicknamed Dusko. “We
are hoping that this is the last the tri
bunal will hear of Dusko Tadic, that
he will be able to start serving his
sentence,” said her spokesperson,
Paul Risley.

Thai captors killed
in commando raid
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — Thai
commandos who stormed a hospi
tal in a hostage rescue mission
killed some of the 10 captors after
they surrendered, Thai media said
today, citing hostages.
Thai leaders and the public, how
ever, have supported police and sol
diers who stormed the hospital
Tuesday, killing all the insurgents
holding hundreds of patients and
staff hostage in Ratchaburi, 60
miles west of Bangkok.
Police have said all of the cap-
tors were killed during the assault.
They were identified as members of
God's Army and the Vigorous
Burmese Student Warriors, fringe
rebel bands fighting the military
regime in neighboring Myanmar.
Thai police stepped up security
today at Myanmar’s embassy in
Bangkok and along the border to
prevent revenge attacks.
Four patients died from natural
causes during the 22-hour siege.
The rest of the hostages were freed
unharmed by the commando raid.

What is group counseling
and how can it help?
Group counseling involves about
four to ten people meeting with one
or two counselors serving as group
leaders. Group leaders work to pro
vide a safe, confidential environ
ment where group members are
free to discuss their problems and
concerns. Through the group, mem
bers identify with others who are
experiencing similiar issues and in
crease their self-awareness by ob
taining genuine and honest feed
back.
How much you talk about yourself
depends on what you are comfort
able with. You can benefit from
group even when you are saying
little because you will learn about
yourself as others talk about their
concerns. Make an appointment at
the SCS to speak to a screening
counselor or to help you determine
if a group might benefit you.
