Ratko Mladic arrested in Serbia after a decade in hiding

An interior ministry official earlier said police had arrested someone thought to be Mladic and were checking his identity.

‘He has some physical features of Mladic. We are analysing his DNA now,’ an official said on condition of anonymity.

The man was arrested in Serbia on an anonymous tip, he said.

Croatian newspaper Jutarnji List, which first reported the story citing Serbian police sources, said Serbian special forces had made the arrest.

The paper said security forces followed a tip-off that Komadic bore a resemblance to Mladic.
