Former Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladic went on trial today in The Hague.
Mladic is accused of genocide and crimes against humanity during the Bosnian War of the 1990s, including the alleged orchestration of the Srebrenica massacre.
Rasema Handanovic has become the first woman to be convicted in Bosnia for crimes committed during the ethnic conflict that ensued after the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Police in Serbia say they arrested 15 people early Saturday, the day after a gunman with suspected links to a radical Islamist group opened fire on the U.S. embassy in Sarajevo, Bosnia.
The tribunal ruled that Perisic provided crucial military aid to forces responsible for the infamous Srebrenica massacre as well as a shelling and sniping campaign against Sarajevo. Some 8,000 Muslim men and boys were massacred in Srebrenica in 1995.
Ratko Mladic, general of the Bosnian Serb forces, orchestrated the massacre at Srebrenica. In early July, he was dismissed from court on his second day before a judge.
Mladic appeared before judges at the United Nations war crimes tribunal on charges he masterminded the massacre of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in 1995 and for his connection to the 43-month siege of Sarajevo from 1992 to 1995.
In Mladic's Bosnian hometown of Kalinovik, thousands of of protesters waved posters of Mladic and accused Serbian President Boris Tadic, who ordered Mladic's arrest, of treason.
