	Catholic World News : Vatican denies charge of harboring Croatian war criminal
		She argued that Vatican officials could easily determine, by questioning Croatian Church authorities, which of 80 Catholic monasteries in Croatia is now hiding the accused war criminal.
		Gotovina is charged with presiding at a massacre in which 150 Serbian civilians were killed, and the deportation of 200,000 others, during a Croatian military offensive in 1995.
		The charge against Gotovina is that, since he was commander-in-chief of Croatian forces, he is therefore culpable for any or all atrocities committed by anyone down the chain of his command....The possible conviction of Gotovina of war crimes in a Del Ponte trial might delegitimize the establishment of the sovereign Croatian state.
