BELGRADE, Serbia — Slobodan Milosevic's paramilitary commander and 11 other men were convicted and sentenced yesterday in the assassination of Serbia's first democratically elected prime minister, Zoran Djindjic.

The Special Court said Milorad Ulemek — former head of Milosevic's elite Red Berets paramilitary unit set up during the wars in Bosnia and Croatia in the 1990s — organized the March 12, 2003, sniper attack in front of Serbian government headquarters.
