As the US suspended aid to Serbia and Montenegro for not cooperating with a war-crimes tribunal, NATO troops raided a church and rectory in search of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic but failed to find the world's most sought after war-crimes suspect.

A priest known as a Karadzic supporter was wounded in the Thursday raid, as was his son. The two were in critical condition with fractures and head wounds, said Amra Odobasic, a spokeswoman for the Tuzla Clinical Center.

Outraged at the action, 3,000 people protested outside the church, carrying banners reading: "Nobody will arrest a Serb." They lit candles and prayed for the two men wounded in the sweep. Many wrapped themselves in Serbia's flag.
