Milosevic-Era Serb Intelligence Chief "Was CIA"

The trusted chief of Slobodan Milosevic's intelligence service, Jovica Stanisic, was in fact working with the CIA for eight years, an L.A. Times report says citing confidential documents allegedly submitted for consideration in Stanisic's war crimes trial in The Hague.

The Los Angeles Times wrote on Sunday that Jovica Stanisic, "accused of setting up genocidal death squads", was "a valuable source for the CIA. An agency veteran even says that he also 'did a whole lot of good'."

Facing a war crimes trial at the Hague Tribunal, Stanisic has called in a favour with his American allies, the paper says
" In an exceedingly rare move, the CIA has submitted a classified document to the court that lists Stanisic's contributions and attests to his helpful role."
