Ratko Mladic, former Serbian war commander in the Bosnian War, was arrested in Serbia on Thursday for committing war crimes after more than 15 years in hiding. Serbian President Boris Tadic stated that Mladic was arrested after an investigation that lasted for about 3 years. Mladic, now 69 years old, was the highest-ranking war crimes suspect still at large from the Bosnian War, and is wanted on charges of genocide, extermination, torture, and murder among others. The war crimes refer back to a killing of over 8,000 men and boys back in 1995, in what was considered the largest individual mass killing in Europe since WWII and the Holocaust. Mladic is the last of a trio of leaders accused of war crimes against Muslims and Croats to be arrested. The other two were former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who was arrested in 2000 and died in 2006, and Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, who was arrested in 2008 and is on trial in The Hague. President Tadic stated that Ratko Mladic's arrest should assist in the reconciliation in the Balkans.
