Serb General Ratko Mladic was arrested yesterday in Serbia.
The old general looked pale, his right arm paralyzed from what is most likely a stroke. He had two pistols on him but went quietly. The interrogation has been suspended due to poor health.
Ratko Mladic was the Serb General that was in charge during the so called ‘Srebrenecia Massacre’
I have some bad news for the War Crimes prosecutors at the Hague, when they investigate the ‘Srebrenica Massacre’, many very inconvenient facts will come out again. Please review this post for further details. It was not a massacre, the Serbs (Mladic) allowed the evacuation of women and children. The Muslims that were killed there were Jihadis from all over the Ummah who were sacrificed by their leaders who, of course, escaped and let their men be killed and be used as martyrs and victims later. Have you ever noticed that the Muslims want no part in fighting the Serbs again? That should be an object lesson for the West.
A Quick Bio:
Mladic was born on March 12, 1942, in the south-eastern Bosnian village of Bozinovci. He was two when his father, a Second World War guerrilla fighter, was killed, allegedly by Croat pro-Nazi forces. He graduated from Belgrade’s prestigious military academy and joined the Yugoslav Communist Party in 1965.
Embarking on an army career when the former Yugoslavia was still a six-state federation, Mladic rose steadily through the ranks, making general before the country’s break-up in 1991.
When Yugoslavia began unravelling in war, Mladic was in Croatia leading Yugoslav troops in the Serb controlled enclave of Knin. He is believed to have played a crucial role in the army bombardment of the coastal city of Zadar.
A year later, he assumed command of the Yugoslav Army’s 2nd Military District, which effectively became the Bosnian Serb army.
Appointed in 1992 by Karadzic, Mladic led the Bosnian Serb army until the Dayton accords brought peace to Bosnia in 1995.
Obsessed with his nation’s history, Mladic saw Bosnia’s war as a chance for revenge against 500 years of the Ottoman Turks’ occupation of Serbia. He viewed Bosnian Muslims as Turks and called them that as a racial slur.
Mladic was indicted two weeks after the Srebrenica massacre together with Karadzic, who vanished later that year. Serbian security forces captured Karadzic in Belgrade on July 21, 2008.
The Hague tribunal accused the pair of command responsibility for numerous atrocities committed during Bosnia’s 1992-95 war, which killed more than 100,000 people and drove another 1.8 million from their homes.
The thing with Mladic is that he is not viewed as a war criminal by the Serbs. He is a General that fought the Muslim invaders that were on Serbian soil. Keep an eye on the War Crimes Trial. The Hague has a poor track record of successfully prosecuting Serbs.
Two injured in rioting in northern town
Source: BetaNOVI SAD, BELGRADE — About 500 people took to the streets of Novi Sad, in Vojvodina, northern Serbian, to protest against the arrest of Ratko Mladić.
They tried to force their way to the Radio-Television of Vojvodina building, but were prevented by a large number of police officers in full riot gear.
The demonstrators then threw rocks at the local office of the ruling Democratic Party (DS). Police appeared from the building, dispersing the crowd.
Two protesters were left lying on the street injured. Others fled in small groups, but gathered again in the town’s central square.
Reports said that there are about 100 demonstrators there tonight.
Earlier in the evening, they physically assaulted a man in front of the television outlet’s building, “after which a free-for-all broke out” said reports.
The demonstrators shouted insults aimed at Interior Minister Ivica Dačić, as well as “Ustashas” – a reference to WW2 Croat Nazis.
They also turned over garbage containers, lit flares, and chanted, “Knife, wire, Srebrenica” – a reference to the Srebrenica massacre – and described Serbian President and DS party leader Boris Tadić as “Ustasha”, calling for an “uprising” in Serbia.
In Belgrade, police intervened several times against small groups of young men who gathered in support of Ratko Mladić.
The protesters also lit flares, chanting “Thank you, Ratko”, “Save Serbia and kill yourself, Boris”, while advising policemen to “go to Kosovo”.
The MUP, meanwhile, sent its officers to beef up security around the government and parliament buildings, as well as the City Assembly, the Presidency, and the state broadcaster, RTS.
