Mladic trial nears end, far from Bosnia’s killing fields

ExpaticaThe protracted and complicated trial of notorious former Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, once dubbed the “Butcher of Bosnia”, reaches a climax next week more than 20 years after the war.

Closing arguments will begin Monday in the case in which Mladic, 74, has denied 11 charges including two of genocide, as well as war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in the bloody 1992-95 Bosnian conflict.

More than 100,000 people died and 2.2 million others were left homeless in the conflict, one of several that erupted as the former Yugoslavia fell apart.
