Police are doing DNA tests on the man to determine if he is Mladic, the radio station reported, citing a leading Croatian newspaper. The radio station said it "contacted the police, but was told only that an indentity check and DNA analysis were 'ongoing.'" CNN has not confirmed the report, but Serbian President Boris Tadic's office announced a surprise press conference for Thursday afternoon, shortly after the reports first appeared. Mladic is wanted on charges of genocide, extermination and murder, among other charges, by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The tribunal accuses him of "direct involvement in the genocide committed after the fall of Srebrenica in July 1995," and the killing of "close to 8,000 men and boys following the fall of this enclave." The massacre of the Muslim men and boys is thought to be the largest individual slaughter in Europe since the end of World War II. Mladic has been on the run since the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina ended in 1995. His former boss, Radovan Karadzic, was arrested in July 2008 and is now on trial in The Hague. Slobodan Milosevic, who was president of Yugoslavia during the conflict, was toppled in 2000 and put on trial at The Hague. He died in jail before the trial came to an end.

And another one bites the dust. Probably.

Good. I was just reading about Srebrenica again today. He's a real monster, I hope he never gets out of prison. [editline]26th May 2011[/editline] I also hope he gets to spend considerably longer in jail than Milošević

Mladić was also head of the operations that the Serbian military conducted around Zadar and Šibenik, and was also the commander of the Serbian troops that attacked Sarajevo. So yea, not only he he handled the Srebrenica massacre, but a great deal of the deaths in Dalmatia and Bosnia during the war were also caused by him.

Took them long enough.

Mojo gone.

[QUOTE=Ziron;30063385]a sad day for serbs across the world if its him :([/QUOTE] Wouldn't be suprised, they're insanely nationalistic. Except I can't find a reason why to honor military commanders who failed to take over countries with a complete lack of defense. Then they all get bombarded by NATO and their president commits suicide in The Hauge. Oh yea, and to make this all more ironic: today is the 20th anniversary of the Croatian Defense Force. :v:

Keep in mind people, he [b]may or may not[/b] be the man they're after.

Serbia strong!

give us the clay
