The monstrous crimes of Ratko Mladic, the 'Butcher of Bosnia'
Confirmed
The Srebrenica survivors said one image forever will be imprinted in their minds: Mladic handing out candy to Muslim children who had been rounded up on the town's square and reassuring them that everything would be all right — even patting one child on the head.
A family member of Mladic, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, confirmed the reports for the AP and said Mladic's son, Darko Mladic, was on the way to the Hague. "The time has come... for revenge against Turks in these regions," Mladic said after taking over Srebrenica.
The reports said that Mladic died in a U.N. prison hospital in The Hague, Netherlands. He issued his orders through a military radio system, not bothering to scramble the signal, which was picked up and taped by the Sarajevo police.
"Shoot at slow intervals until I order you to stop," it said. "Borders are drawn in blood," he is reported to have said.
