American peacekeepers raided a radio station run by the daughter of top Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic yesterday, a Reuters eyewitness and local media said.

The Nato-led Stabilisation Force (SFOR) has recently stepped up the hunt for Karadzic, twice indicted by the United Nations war crimes tribunal in The Hague for genocide during the 1992-95 war.

A Reuters cameraman saw troops in a telecommunications building in Pale, about 16 kilometres from the Bosnian capital Sarajevo, and said they later moved to the Sveti Jovan (Saint John) radio station, run by Karadzic's daughter Sonja. SFOR has raided the station several times since the war.

An SFOR spokesman would only confirm that two "inspections" had been completed as part of an effort to find Karadzic through his support network, and that the information gathered was being analysed.
