"Ratko Mladic, wanted by UN prosecutors for war crimes during the Bosnian civil war, has been arrested in Serbia after a decade in hiding.

Serbian President Boris Tadic confirmed the arrest of the former Bosnian Serb army chief at a news conference.

Gen Mladic is accused of a key role in the massacre of at least 7,500 men and boys at Srebrenica in 1995"

It's not a good month for hiding mass murderers!

Agreed.

Blimey - whatever you do, dont look at the 'Srebrenica massacre' on wikipedia, just did and its probably the most shocking thing Ive ever read. Especially as most of it is from eye witness statements.

If a small piece of what I read is true, there is a place in hell waiting for him.

I hope justice is served although I am not sure whether the law has sufficient punishment at its disposal.

That's like saying "don't press that mystery red button". Grim indeed.

Absolutely crazy to think that happened when I was studying for my A levels and within a 2/3 hour flight from the UK..... Very sad and hopefully the surviving families will finally get some justice.

I just don't understand how any human could possibly do some of those actions described to another.

Utterly sickening, monsters.

I wasn't the only one silly enough to ignore 4L then

Really depressing stuff.

+1. I read one of the eye witness reports, and I wanna go throw up.

Too close for comfort I agree.

Can't believe some of the eye-witness reports. Particularly the claims that Dutch peace-keeping soldiers just turned a blind-eye.

[obob]

Seriously, don't read it.

I'd forgotten about the UN mess up in Bosnia. Sending thousands of armed soldiers there but not allowing them to do anything except stand and watch, complete shambles.

I think its rather dissappointing that Serbia only bothered to go looking for him because they want to be in the EU

I "knew I knew" but had mercifully blotted it from my RAM.

The scenario of UN & UK troops being sent but being powerless to act has jogged my memory now. I won;t be Googling to refresh it, I'm not so sure the horrendous details would slip so comfortably from consciousness a second time. It must have been harrowing for the UN & allied troops who were ther and witnessed it and had to assist with the aftermath.

The people responsible are inhuman bds and if this guy is one of them, I'd say the death penalty is fitting.
