Serbia Arrests Ratko Mladic

May 26th, 2011

Via: CBS News:

The Serbian government confirmed Thursday that Ratko Mladic, Europe’s most wanted war crimes fugitive, had been arrested.

A man who identified himself as Milorad Komadic when he was arrested Thursday is the wartime Bosnian Serb army commander.

The director of communications for the government of President Boris Tadic confirmed to CBS News’ Natasha Popovic in Belgrade that the man arrested was Mladic.

About an hour later, Tadic appeared on national television to confirm the arrest to the wider world.

“On behalf of the Republic of Serbia we announce that Ratko Mladic has been arrested,” Tadic told reporters. He said the arrest was made by the Serbian Security Intelligence Agency.

Mladic will be extradited to the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, he said. He did not specify when, but said “an extradition process is under way.”

    Maybe they’ll get him for a “mass grave” (NATO definition “2 or more people”). Or for the 1000’s NATO say are buried in the pools of acid in the bottom of mines (no evidence).

    War crimes… right…

    Oh yea. Don’t forget the “death camps” reported by CBS (or CNN?) that turned out to be the cameraman looking out of a chicken wire enclosure… onto a crpwd of people in the hot sun.

  4. RBNZ says:

    Kevin – I’m not saying it’s *all* made up. just the genocide charges…

    The media and western governments have lied repeatedly about the war in Yugoslavia.

    A NY times article mentions Milosevic saying the french were responsible. (couldn’t find more info on this theory…)

    Milosevic had 10 days left of the 5 year trial before his easily preventable heart attack…

    Another doco on Radovan Karadzic’s life as a successful faith healer.
