Nairobi  - A man suspected of being a fugitive wanted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia for war crimes has been arrested in the Kenyan port town of Mombasa, police said Friday.

"We arrested a man, from Eastern Europe, who is alleged to be a man wanted by the war crimes tribunal," police spokesman Eric Kiraithe told German Press Agency dpa.

Kiraithe refused to reveal the suspect's name, but said that his identity should be verified by around 1200 GMT.

The man arrested is reported to have been going under the name Igor Majeski and running a water sports' business at the Whitesands hotel in Mombasa.

The two fugitives still wanted by the ICTY are the former commander of the Bosnian Serb army Ratko Mladic, who has been indicted for genocide, and Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic. (dpa)
