Ratko Mladic, ex-Bosnian Serb warlord who oversaw atrocities in Bosnia, dies in prison at 84
Belgrade, Serbia - Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb general responsible for atrocities during the 1990s Bosnian War, has passed away in prison at the age of 84, according to reports from Serbian state RTS television and the official Bosnian Serb television. The United Nations prison hospital in The Hague, Netherlands, confirmed Mladic's demise.
His family member, speaking anonymously due to the delicate nature of the situation, confirmed the reports to the AP and mentioned that Mladic's son, Darko Mladic, was en route to The Hague. However, U.N. court officials stated that they had not yet been able to independently verify Mladic's death.
