Edinburgh - A Croat soldier who appeared in an award-winning play in the Edinburgh Festival has been accused of leading a battalion which committed war crimes. The play, Soldiers, at the Traverse Theatre, was abruptly cancelled last week, and Nick Glasnovic left the country.

The night before he left, Mr Glasnovic had a televised confrontation with Mr Len Lukowiac, a Falklands veteran turned writer. The former paratrooper accused Mr Glasnovic of being a commander of the notorious HVO, the Croatian Defence Council.
