NAIROBI, Kenya — A water-sports instructor was mistakenly arrested by Kenyan police who thought he was wanted for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia, Interpol and a spokeswoman for the Yugoslav war-crimes tribunal said Friday.
Kenyan police said they arrested the man at a luxury coastal resort outside the city of Mombasa on Thursday after getting a tip that he was former Bosnian Serb army commander Gen. Ratko Mladic.
Staff members at the Whitesands Hotel told The Associated Press, however, that he was Croatian Igor Mejaski, who ran a water-sports shop at the hotel and had been in the country for many years.
