VIENNA (Reuters) - Radovan Karadzic evaded capture last year when Austrian police raided a Vienna apartment where he was staying but did not recognise the disguised war crimes suspect, an Austrian newspaper reported on Friday.
Karadzic, who was captured in Belgrade earlier this week after 11 years in hiding, was found disguised as a doctor. Serb authorities said the 63-year-old Karadzic, who had been indicted for genocide during the Bosnia wars, was barely recognisable in his white long beard.
The Kronen Zeitung said in a report that police found the bearded, white-haired man when they raided the apartment of the girlfriend of a Serb man suspected of having shot dead another Serb in a Vienna cafe in May 2007.
When the police asked him to identify himself, the report said that he showed a Croat passport under the name Petar Glumac and added he was in Vienna for training. It said that he
appeared calm and readily answered police questions about the suspect.
The Austrian Interior Ministry confirmed the raid, which took place on May 4, 2007, and said policemen who took part in recognised Karadzic as the man they saw in the apartment when they saw his pictures after his capture.
"When the pictures of Karadzic emerged after his arrest in Serbia, policemen who participated in the raid have reported that the man they have encountered there was probably Karadzic," Interior Ministry spokesman Wolfgang Gollia told Austrian television.
Gollia said the ministry was still making checks with Croat and Serb authorities and was interviewing the policemen and other witnesses before confirming the man's identity.
According to the Kronen Zeitung report, Karadzic lived in the apartment for three months and sold herbal solutions and ointments.
Earlier on Friday, another daily, Kurier, reported that Karadzic had practiced medicine under the name Pera as a miracle healer in the private homes of Serbs living in Vienna.
Bearing a Croat passport, Karadzic would not have needed a visa for entering Austria.

Do You Need a Cell Phone Recorder? by Tom Rasmussen
With all the cool technology available, it can be tempting to buy gadgets just for the sake of buying gadgets. On the other hand, some technology can really be useful. The cell phone recorder falls into this category of possibly useful and possibly just a gadget.
Do you need a recorder to capture your cell phone conversations? Most people will automatically answer a resounding no to this, but may still want such a device because they’re cool. Other people will answer yes, I definitely need one. And most people will wonder how they would use a machine like this if they had it.
If you’re considering buying a cell phone recorder, how will you use it? Keep in mind that in most areas you can legally record phone conversations, including cell phone calls, only if you disclose the recording to the other party in advance and get their permission.
If you’re planning to record phone calls so that you can recall project and discussion details and make sure you’re on the same page with a client, supervisor or employee, then recording should be fine. Very few people will object when you have a strong reason for recording the phone call.
If capturing cell phone calls is part of a plan to discredit, embarrass or otherwise harm the other party, and you’re not planning to get their permission to tape them, a cell phone recorder could cause you some serious legal problems, and possibly some jail time. In that case, you should probably reconsider your purchase.
If you sometimes make calls from your office phone and sometimes from your cell, and need to record from both locations, one device will record from both phones, so you won’t have to purchase two recorders.
A cell phone recorder is definitely a cool gadget, and you will no doubt enjoy using it and impressing your friends with your new toy. But if you have a legitimate need to record phone conversations, legally, this may become an indispensable device for you. As we move more and more toward using our cell phones exclusively, being able to record your cell phone conversations becomes ever more important.
