STORYLINE:

NATO troops failed on Friday for the second time in 24 hours to hunt down Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader and the UN war crimes tribunal's most wanted suspect.

New efforts appeared to be in the making, however, even after NATO called off its raid in a section of eastern Bosnia thought to harbor Karadzic. A statement by SFOR, the NATO-led Stabilisation Force in Bosnia, said that while Karadzic "was not seized, SFOR continues efforts to apprehend him."

NATO troops had moved into a remote region of eastern Bosnia after receiving a tip that Karadzic was hiding out in Celebici, a village in the region near the border with the Yugoslav republics of Serbia and Montenegro.

In Brussels, NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson said the hunt will continue. "This is not the first time that we went after Karadzic and it will not be the last," he told reporters.

Black-masked NATO troops toting assault rifles descended on Celebici on Thursday. Residents said they set off explosives, lifted carpets and checked behind a church altar in their failed search for Karadzic.

Karadzic and and his war commander Ratko Mladic are charged with genocide and crimes against humanity in Bosnia during the war that began in 1992 when the republic declared independence from Yugoslavia.
