Croatia and Serbia have indicted eight men in two separate investigations for last year's killing of Ivo Pukanic, an influential Croatian newspaper publisher whose Nacional political weekly often investigated organized crime, prosecutors said on their website. Pukanic was assassinated in October last year by a car bomb that also killed one of his colleagues in a parking lot outside his office in downtown Zagreb. Serbian prosecutors have indicted Sreten Jocic, a wealthy Belgrade businessman already indicted for two other murders, and two of his associates. Pukanic's murder came on the heels of other violent incidents in the Croatian capital and prompted then Prime Minister Ivo Sanader to sack the justice and interior ministers. (Reuters)
