HeadlineMay 26, 2011

Mladic is wanted for his role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre and the siege of Sarajevo. His arrest has long been seen as a precondition for Serbia’s membership in the European Union. Serbian officials say a man believed to be Mladic is in custody and undergoing testing to determine his identity.
