Photos of the Day, Monday, Oct. 26

Bosnian Muslim woman Hajrija Ademovic prays near the gravestones of Srebrenica victims at the Memorial Center at Potocari near Srebrenica, 70 kms northeast of Sarajevo, Bosnia, Monday, Oct. 26, 2009. The trial of Radovan Karadzic, who led the Bosnian Serbs through a brutal three-year civil war in the early 1990s, begins Oct. 26, about 15 months after he was captured in Serbia. The prosecution and defense will each have one year to present their case. Karadzic is boycotting Monday's hearing to protest his lack of time to prepare for the trial, saying he needs months more to get ready. His refusal to show up at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal is a blow to survivors who hold him responsible for tens of thousands of deaths during the brutal 1992-95 Bosnian war.
