It took much longer than it should have to catch up, but he is now in The Hague. The Guardian:
Europe's most wanted war crimes suspect, General Ratko Mladic, was arrested in a north Serbian village 16 years after commanding the worst atrocity on the continent since the Nazi era.
The surprise arrest of the genocide suspect, wanted for the mass murder of almost 8,000 men in Srebrenica, turned a page in the history of the Balkans, offering Serbia closure on decades as a virtual international pariah and giving the country a chance to take its place as a pivotal regional democracy eventually anchored in the European Union.
"We have lifted the stain from Serbia and from Serbs wherever they live," said President Boris Tadic, announcing the arrest of the fugitive who had been living in a cousin's cottage in a village north-east of Belgrade under the alias Milorad Komadic. "We have ended a difficult period in our history," Tadic added.
