| Ratko Mladic: war crimes fugitive 'arrested in Serbia' |
| 2011-05-26 |
| Ratko Mladic, the war crimes fugitive accused of orchestrating the Siege of Sarajevo and the Srebrenica massacre, is understood to have been arrested in Serbia. The former Chief of Staff of the Bosnian Serb Army was reportedly seized by police after an anonymous tip-off. Tip o' the hat to Milan the Weasel... "He has some physical features of Mladic. We are analysing his DNA now," an Interior Ministry official said. Serbian media reported that the suspect was living under the name of Milorad Komadic. The European Commission said it had "all reason to believe" that Mladic could be the man arrested. Serbia had been told it must arrest Mladic, sought by the UN war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for genocide during the Bosnian war, if it wants to join the European Union. |
